Head Filling Up!

Been drowning my head with this good piece of song.

Typically popular music but its some beautiful lyrics I say.

My head is filling up, because I am reading hell lots of texts from various books and magazines...

Heh.

It's Beginning To Get To Me Lyrics
by Snow Patrol

I want something
That's purer than the water
Like we were

It's not there now
Ineloquence and anger
Are all we have

Like Saturn's rings
An icy loop around me
Too hard to hold

Lash out first
At all the things we don't like
Or understand

And it's beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what's in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get get my point
They're always fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about

The answer phone
The lonely sound of your voice
Frozen in time

I only need
The compass that you gave me
To guide me on

And it's beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what's in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed

Are you beginning to get get my point
They're always fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about

It's so thrilling but also wrong
Don't have to prove that you are so strong
Cos I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack

I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense

We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost

We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost

Ubëred!

Been missing out cybering on the net for about a week, as I'm unable to possess my home's PC due to my future brother-in-law's use of it for his work or simply other things.

Since, my sis's away from home, he had been lonely and not going out except for work, so I "forgive" him.

Anyway, what was I doing when I was not at home?

I simply went out.

I literally stayed out after heading out from camp to the urban commercial township of Singapore, for short, I was in town.

I already forgot what I did on which day but I still remember the important ones.

But I definitely remembered I did went shopping for a couple of nice books costing almost a hundred at the Borders in Orchard. Their purpose is to keep me busy for this week.

Well... So much for my Astrology telling me to curb my shopping urges...

Anyway, one of the book is of National Geographics Society, Herbert Krosney on the story on "The Lost Gospel", the quest for the Gospel of Judas Iscariot.

This is is real life archaoelogical journey on the gospel, which had a different view of what Judas, the 13th disciple of Jesus who betreyed Christ to his Cruxification, which perhaps make Judas not a sinner but he was actually part of God's will.

I already read 12 chapters out of 18 for this book since I bought it last Thursday.

Its just too addictive.

The other book I bought was the non-fiction story "Marley & Me" of a relationship between a Labrador retriever, named Marley, and the author John Grogan.

I love dogs, which included one of my favs, the Labrador retriever. This I had to wait till I finish the other book first.

And so I went clubbing with my friends, Eddie and Chee Keong, and Chee Keong's friends, Jessy, Ziting and Shuling whom I already pretty much acquainted with on other several occasions.

We went MoS and it was fun dancing and going crazy with them.

I treated everyone a jug of drink to break ice with the younger girls which I see them as "tao" on previous occasions. Shuling who is the more mature in age than us, so I didn't have problem clicking with her.

The next day after the clubbing night was a relax day in town. Was waiting for a plan to meet my poly friends but my organising friend doesn't seem to be taking alot of initiative, and so in the end, the meet didn't blossom.

I ended up meeting up with Elvin, and his circle of friends, who invited me to an Autralian Universities Open House at the Orchard Hotel's ballroom, which I went but was not intrested even though the event focused on my industry.

The multimedia industry is already growing steadily currently and I wish to catch with the growth before it dies down. If I go for further studies, the future may be different. Moreover, my inustry is more experienced based. Technical know-how can be learn on the job as this is always true with its ever chanigng technology.

So after hanging around at the open house for a while, I went to the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf outside Wheelock Place to chill while reading the Today newspaper and reading my book while having a nice cup of tea.

I was surpisingly still on some high after the previous night's drinking because I slept little.

I had planned to woke up early that day to visit the bank to apply for a debit card but still kind of woke up late.

My room's air-conditioning is still affecting my quality sleep.

Sunday is the day I went chill again, this time at Boat Quay's riverside Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf reading the same book and having my hot chocolate.

Romantic huh?

After that, I went to office to "work" for a while. Its much more like volunteery work provided my dinner was treated by my manager. Heh.

:P

Carefree!

I'm so back! After recent's turmoil, I am finally back again!

At least now that everything seems to be getting back to normal and everybody, or should I say most of my friends are happy with their lives.

And that made me happy enough.

0: )

And I am finally and totally back to my carefree life.

I've called for a time-out for my sideline which ate up quite a part of my life with alot of emotion, physical and mental stress. I'll only return after I ORDed and when I find a more stable job other than my NSF "job", which in turn can support the sideline work.

Anyway, things have been happening this past week and I have so much to say about what I did.

I am still shopping for some of my stuff and did my best to get some.

Its like some sort of shopping craze. But this is only STAGE 1 : )

Cos' what might make me go into STAGE 2 shopping craze is definitely the Great Singapore Sale 2006 (GSS 2006)!

But of course, I'm not going deep into the big sale yet.

I haven't see what I want yet or else its just not within my budget. I am still trying hard to save as much as possible for my vacations in the next few months.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As for the usual Saturday night, I went drinking. (Heh.)

I went drinking with June and Alex for an update at the MoS.

The date with my friends was pretty messily coordinated.

I wasn't expecting Alex cos' he initially didn't tell me anything at all in the first place. Weiquan "flew my aeroplane" but in the end I forgot all about him le. Chee Keong didn't come either.

But still I enjoyed the two's company and enjoyed the night, drinking and chit-chatting with them.

But I think my drinking power dropped... Or was it that I'm still not use to drinking beer?

My vision went blur that night after one jug of housepour and one-and-a-half pints of Corona beer..

Maybe its an illusion of "drunkness" due to my contact lenses, which I am using a new cotact lenses multi-purpose solution after the B&L solution which I had used before now was having some sort of a potential infection for the eyes.

Anyway, the 48 hours after the drinking was quite horrible.

I was still pretty high after I went back home to sleep but only slept for about 5 hours till 12pm.

After that, I can't get back to sleep. So I watch TV...

In the late afternoon, I went to office to meet up with my friend at my sideline and then had dinner with him which he botched without completing the dinner with me.

So I went shopping in town again. But I was tired, yet I didn't bother to stop...

...to look for a special birthday gift for my dear "daughter" Alicia.

But I haven't found it yeah.

: P

Think I'll try to get it tomorrow.

: )

Fighting the Downside.

Okay. Recently, I've been feeling down and a little sad due to the downside mishaps of my business.

But as much as I'm feeling these ways, I'm still making sense enough to hold myself together.

This mixed feelings altogether with another unknown fear of being afraid felt bloody strange to me.

Sometimes, I wonder whether I'm going nuts or something.

Controlling individual feelings.

Sometimes, I just wanna let it all out and just scream out all my frustrations...

I know I can afford to go relax, chill and go all out to have fun, and I know I'll be happy.

But seeing my "daughter" lost, and yet I am unable to save her... Made me felt like shit.

She's so dependent on people and so fragile in some aspects of her character.

Yet, she stopped learning to improve her character and her mindset.

In fact, even my manager Zuo Qi felt the same thing for her.

Hope she come back. I think we all worry about her...

And hope I'll find the things in life I truly wanted.

Gotta get myself busy with other of my interests and hobbies to get over these.

"Hard" Times.

After a whole week of "hard" times, I'm finally got the time to be able to sit down properly, tell, whine and share my experiences and life over the past week.

Oh boy, I got so much to tell.

Are you ready?

: )

Here we go.

This whole week I've been busy or soon I say stuck with camp's ever tiring work, especially at the range. Blasting myself under the sun, sweating profusely like some sponge from Monday to Thursday...

Wednesday's the worst. Whole day of range till the late night. Reach home at the midnight... Fed the mosquitoes till every of my single finger is bitten. My neck and my face kissed don't know like what...

Failed to get Gold again on last Tuesday morning for my IPPT. Due to the "hardening" or cramp of my calves on my first lap of my 2.4km run, I did wanted to drop-out at that time. But I just kept going simply to treat it as training.

I will run again. I'll never stop till I get that Gold!

Anway, I did have some relaxation before I went into last week's hard times.

Went window shopping in town on last Monday after work even though I'm tired cos' I just felt like going.

Like previous days before that last Monday, I bumped into a familiar person. That day it was June, doing her shopping for her digi-cam. She obviously looking tired as me with panda eyes, but I got spectacles for cover.

:P

For last, last weekend, I bumped into friends of my internship, the sweet couple Chin Leong and Meifang at Plaza Singapura (PS) Carrefour, also met Chee Keong and girl friend at The Cathay Picture House. Now I also realised I saw babelicious Diana, my internship colleague in a car when I was at the carpark at PS last, last, last weekend also.

On Last Tuesday, I went all out for a real-time shopping spree. Planning to get a black shirt, a white shirt, a bermuda and a pair of dark-coloured shoes to switch around with my white shoes, to reduce frequency of its wear-and-tear.

So I went shopping, starting at City Hall area's City Link.

But I bumped into someone again. This time, its quite not what I like it or should I say, had in mind.

This time, it is Jess from my sideline business. She's my co-generation colleague who's a manager.

I was "dragged" back to office quite unwillingly as I am doing my shopping then. But I am glad that I was going back to meet my manager Zuo Qi who just came back from her recovery from an eye infection.

But I manage to get back to my shopping after my visit to Zuo Qi. Wasted some shopping time but still manage to get a white QuikSilver shirt from Flash N Splash and a pair of hip Xtomic brown bermuda I wanted to buy before at 77th Street.

The Friday and Saturday of the last week was simply chilling out at wonderful diners.

Friday was chilling out with beer and food at Cafe Iguana with Thomas and long-time-never-see Junlong.

Saturday was crashing into Thomas' ploy friend gathering dinner with great food at Raffles' Hotel's Seah Street Deli restaurant.

Saturday night was party night at MoS with Thomas again. Oh, I also went window shopping in town again.

Got two new rock albums, Hoobastank's Every Man For Himself and Snow Patrol's Eyes Open.

Damn cool music.

Sunday was sleeping non-stop sleep of 12 hours.

Sometimes I wonder what the hell I was doing that last week, as if I'm trying to hide or escape from something missing from my life...

I'm just very sure that it was not the upset with my sideline business...

Something is obviously missing, but I'm kind of afraid to find out what is it...

I hate it, cos' I don't know what is it?!

Shit.

Bee-Zee Weekend!

Been a really packed weekend with alot of activities and events going on starting from Friday till today.

Time to throw all these memories into my blog.

Blog is a good place to dump memories, good or bad.

I better blog a little bit more summarised so that I can go to sleep quickly.

Last Friday. This day was my sister's engagement ceremony. A lot of relatives came to observe the ceremony. I wish for the best of my blessings to my sister and my future brother-in-law.

To me, having an engagemnt ceremony at the ROM (Registry of Marriages) with lots of friends and relatives is a hassle for them.

If it was mine, I rather have a private one near some wonderful place with nice settings.

After the engagement ceremony, we went to have high-tea or should I say lunch at Crystal Jade Kitchen at Suntec City.

Was too full and a bit sick of eating the bun dishes there...

*burp...*

Saturday, yesterday. It was polling day and results day of the General Elections.

Not say I didn't bother, but the results were out as I expected it to be.

Went to office to work awhile that early afternoon, then rush to Ros' house in the early evening to play mahjong. After that I went to Thomas' house to hang out time to wait for the night...

And so I went to chill with Thomas that night. Was suppose to have another guy to join us but he flew our aeroplane again.

Anyway, we were suppose to check out new clubbing place called The Butter Factory but comments from a friends said the age group there was quite too old for us.

Though I didn't mind mixing with more mature people, I scared it would be turn off for Thomas.

So we ended up chilling at Club MoMo's MoMo Live and further ended up clubbing becos' its only two a company...

Sunday, today. I went out with five friends, Thomas, Chee Wee, Alvin and Huimin. And the one we missed so much as we didn't see him for a long time, Mr Bryan.

Our purpose was to just to chill and relax.

We did our window shopping at Plaza Singapura.

I was feeling abit sianz. Cos' I didn't know whether to buy the HipHop IV CD music collection. I was tempted to buy but I already bought another CD for that week...

Saving money for my dreams you know...

We had our dinner at Crystal Jade Kitchen (NO! Again for me and Chee Wee...), but we definitely had a nice dinner together.

I ordered dishes not related to buns for goodness' sake...

Argh... I'm so tired. Time to sleep.

Long week ahead...

Two days for fighting honour and incentives this coming week...

IPPT (physical fitness test, still trying to get Gold award) and ATP (Advance Training Phase, manouvreing marksmanship)!

Chillin' the Sunday!

Oh, what a day I have today. Slogging the times out in camp makes me tired.

Not to mention that I had to work on Labour Day yesterday to catch up some work in the office at my sideline.

Well, I supposed this was the price to pay for my weekend of relax and chill :P

I had a relaxing Sunday to chill at the Siloso Beach, Sentosa with Thomas and Chee Wee.

Went for a wonderful dinner food hunt at Joo Chiat after beaching.

Then, we headed to Alvin's house (which we didn't visit for a long time) for mahjong with his girlfriend Huimin at night.

It was great : )

Love the sun, sand and the sea.

I LOVE SUMMER TIME!

; )



Palms in the Sun...





Smiling sands...





Wonderful sea...





Chillin' for a tan...





Beautiful sunset of the Singapore skyline...
while heading to the East for dinner...





Speeding over the Sheares back to the West...





"Xiao Wang", Alvin's lady doggy who always eyes me for a pat... *Cute!*
