champagne from a paper cup

I had an eFFing Monday.

Started off the day with a Funeral…At noon, I almost blacked out and Fainted… in the evening I Fucked things up big time…later at night, I tried to have Fun and supper was Fish n chips (which helped me to Forget about how Fucked up the day was earlier.)

Compartmentalization of emotions I hear, is a good trait to have for secret agents. I learnt it from watching "Alias".

Efff.

Apologies never make amends unless it has the power to turn back time. Well of course it could never do that, so does that make it useless then?

I.

Cannot sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

Fuck.

I think cursing is like smoking - A purpose-less unhealthy catharsis.

Fuck.

crazy is the forecast

"Joan of Arcadia" - Season 2 - back on channel 5,
Sundays, 5pm.
Hurrah.

__________

You know how sometimes there is this one song that you first hear and immediately trash...and then you keep hearing it on the radio and then you grow to like it and then gradually you become a closet fan of it. Hah.

Well there is this one song........I'm not telling you which...but everytime the beat kicks in. Aaaah...like a knock on the door..hah..and then I join in with guilty pleasure at the sappy falsetto chorus with a frowny face to boot. It's embarrassing.

__________

Sometimes there's only so much that words can say ya?

And I don't always have the right ones either...but

"It is not about extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because dawn has come.."

...said Tagore.

Maybe we could borrow those...I'm sorry..

it leaves you darling if you don't care for it...

I didn’t care to catch the finale of AMI….instead I was…ummm…stuck in the office for abit searching for tapes (!!) and then went rollerblading ‘til midnight-ish at east coast park with Miss I-can’t-blade-so-I’ll-just-rent-a-bicycle-instead. muahah.

Then I read that Elliott performed with Mary J…. Holy shit!! So I searched youtube for the performance.
I loved the way Mary J backed up Elliott’s vocals, easing into her grand appearance….foo-wahh...and it’s so cute the way Elliott goes far into the corner of the stage after Mary comes out ‘coz like hello! It’s Mary J! You’d know damn well to stay clear of Mary J if you’re sharing the stage with her?

He was kinda overshadowed but sounds better than Bono. My. Shawty. Adorable when he’s starstruck.
It’s MARY J yall!!! Hail MAryyyy!! Oh my yaminion..

One luv. *peace sign*

mai’s in Sydnoi, aini’s in Frankfurt, shaz’s at her usual kampong haunt at Bris-burn. I’m schtuck here in xin jia po. I wanna close my eyes and throw a dart at the atlas, then snap my fingers and end up at the destination where my dart landed. Hahah. (as long as it’s not Timor Leste or any oceans coz I can’t swim. oh. lidat jialat liao..)

I’m thinking I should go to all the unconventional holiday destinations while I’m uhh..young, willing and able – Tibet, Nepal, Mongolia, Cambodia, Kashmir(?), maybe get on the Trans-siberian railway? before I get old and frail and whiney going “Aaaah! my legs! Naaaa-bey…” after only 5 steps up the stairs.

Once I start to get perennial backaches because of my 9 to 5 to 9 to 5:30 jobs, then I’ll start making the most of my rare free time, holiday-ing at conventional holiday destinations – from Paris to Milan to some beach resorts and relaxing places like Bali, the Caribbean, Guanica, Jamaica, Aruba, Bahamas, Key Largo, Montego …ooooo…I wanna take you down to cocomo, we’ll go there fast but we’ll take it slowwwww whoa whoa (sorry. couldn’t help it.). And by then, I’ll probably hopefully, hopefully probably will be able to afford it.

Yea. That’s the plan. Now who wants to go to…………….……Hanoi with me?
I’ve been to Ho Chi Minh few years back. Coming back, it feels incomplete not to have gone to Hanoi. At Ho Chi Minh, we hung out with some students from a University there and this boy gave me a pirated CD of "Grammy’s Greatest Hits". So sweet. Alas, our e-mail correspondence never got very far after we went our separate ways. Ahahahah….
(see that’s why Celine and Jesse chose not to exchange numbers or addresses when they parted at the train station...)

I was at a talk by a Swiss Astronaut today and he showed a picture of the aurora borealis from space. My gawd. I suddenly remembered my self-vow to catch them northern lights, at least once, up close and personal, in my lifetime. Insyeleh. Must see this..breath-friggin-taking...

Ok but first, the Kah-Chings! For now the only closest thing I can afford about Hanoi is a lonelyplanet guide book to Vietnam. Ahahah..(eh they don’t come cheap ok)

And don’t tell me that I’m dreaming *finger wave*….they say everything starts with a dream.

(So like if I busk along sungei road, will you drop me a buck or ten? Hmm??)

TR tried to comfort me by saying…. “when one door closes……”

“…another window opens – for me to jump out of..” …..I continued. Muahah.

I’ve always believed that whatever the situation that you’re in, it is the product of the choices that You’ve made.

So if it’s been a success, give yourself some credit. If it’s been otherwise, beat Yourself up on it. Hah.

I’m getting old(er) liao, no time for half-heartedness, no time for holding back, no time for hard-to-get, no time for thriftiness, no time for pettiness...no time for carefulness but no time for carelessness either…

play that funky music, white boy

Cannot sleep. So I’ll bore you...

I didn’t bawl my eyes out like I did the last time kecik the cat died. Maybe because I sorta saw this one coming…if ayu was human, she would’ve been over a hundred years old now.

But still…a lil bit hollow in the heart. Of course, echo and the bunnymen sang, “nothing ever lasts forever…nothing ever lasts forever..”

So, goodbye my dearest cat,
Thanks for keeping me company when I’m alone at home
Thanks for chilling out with me in my room sometimes and making me feel less lonely
Thanks for eating all the leftovers in my plate
Thanks for letting me hug you til you squeak anytime I feel like it
Thanks for being the only thing constant in my last one and a half decades…

Much lurrrrve. Sigh.

After that it was Mediterranean supper then hommmmmme. I still have the “excellent”-three-stars red chope on my hand.

So weird, the home is now cat-less, what’re we gonna do with all the cat food??

Later today, the grandmomma is treating the whole family to mother’s day lunch.

while your guitar gently weeps

This is the state of journalism in Singapore.

The journalists, it’s not that they’re scared, it’s just that it’s delicate?
And..well it’s not that everything around us is made of glass, it’s just that we seem to think we have porcelain skin.

I can’t believe I’m listening to Keith Urban on repeat.

What can I say…I’m a lil bit countryyyy (*gasp* I am??!) ….and a lil bit folk and soul.

“Take your records/ Take your freedom/Take your memories I don't need 'em/ Take your space and take your reasons/But you'll think of me/And take your cat and leave my sweater/'Cause we have nothing left to weather/In fact I'll feel a whole lot better/But you'll think of me…”

Rarr.

Elliott still rocks my socks off my hammock. The boy can Sanggg.

if i can dream, you can sing
Thaz right..give yourself a round of applause luv.

__________

Sometimes when I’m alone in the car belting my heart out to some sappy songs, I’d suddenly stop for a second - at the thought of the possibility of a hidden camera inside somewhere catching me at the peak of my eccentricity (or maybe not, I could do crazier).

Yeek.

But then…no one would be as bo liao as to fix a hidden cam in my car right?.
Right?!?

What if your life was a Truman show? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm If mine was, it would’ve been canned by the first season.

So anyway, have you ever bought those average chocolate ring donuts from Lim Lim bakery downstairs and then chuck ‘em in the microwave? They are the BOMB. Half-melted chocolate rice with crispy-skinned dough…yessiree..just press ‘grill’. (‘Scuse me abit, this is coming from a krispy-kreme-and-dunkin-donuts-deprived donut lover)

Also, those green waffles, don’t you hate it when they give you a cold flaccid piece? Buy a plain one and grill em in the microwave until slightly crispy on the outside. And slap butter or whatever and watch it melt and then take a bite immediately…hooyea.

And you know those bonjour banana walnut bread? Chuck ‘em in the ‘wave and grill ‘em my friends! And then slather margarine/butter and maybe two and half drops of honey and feeeeel the ecstacy of the first (up to the last) bite.

Besides post-it notes, Microwaves Rule!!! xoxo.

Extra long weekend ahead for meeee…
I’m not a planner baby and you’ve got soul, but you’re not a soldier.
So how shall we sculpt this extra time we have?

with my feet on the dash, the world doesn't matter.

I’ve always wanted to drive on a long straight highway that goes for kilometers with barren land or padi fields and cows grazing and rustic kampong scenery on the sides.

And have death cab for cutie singing “passenger seat” on the stereo as the car drives towards the sunset.

"The darkest country road and the strong scent of evergreen from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.."

It would be the perfect setting for a sabbatical road trip. I’m not that picky. The car has to be a manual vintage Honda accord (with power steering please) with no old-car-ikan bilis smell but only the vanilla bouquet ambi pur air freshener that subtly reeks (just like the old Honda baby I used to drive), and the stereo has to play death cab’s “passenger seat” and “lightness” and azure ray’s “across the ocean” and “the drinks we drank last night”. And I don’t care if you want to smoke, as long as it’s menthol lights and the windows are down with the air-con off so I don’t get motion sickness. And it doesn’t matter if we don’t know which way we’re heading to as long as we know our way back home.

my scrapbook car-honda '82

And like how some people have one-night stands, I’ll have one-road-trip stands. Heh. You can tell me everything and I won’t judge you ‘coz I won’t ever see you again and I can tell you everything and I don’t care if you judge me because we won’t ever cross paths again. I can put my feet on the dashboard and you won’t frown on it, and hell, we don’t even have to talk if we don’t want to. We don’t have to fall in love or be in love for the setting to be perfect because love would just tarnish the purpose of the reasonless trip.

Really, it would be less complicated than just hopping in the sack….(’cept there’s the cost of petrol..and maybe accommodation..but we’ll make it up as we go along).

I’d like to drive to nowhere, with a nobody, with no agenda, and no expectations.

That’d just be nice, ye know.

Because sometimes when you get tired of making up or hearing excuses in your life, as a sort of absolution, you need to do things without reason baby.

But that’s just me.

__________

Speaking of road trips, Congrats to Home-ger-84 Sharmyyyy for attaining her driving license at, what? the second try?!! Fwahh, you beat me lor, you win already lorZzzZxzxzx….

Now next time we hang out, drive yourself home eh. Ahahahahahah…

"Plans are like candies to the Fates"

Collided with a triple coincidence this morning. Of the laptop, the radio and the mind - all contents connected at the same time..amayyy-zing!

__________

Do you ever have a prepared defence for hypocrisy? Coz I mean, admit it, we're all guilty of it from time to time. I don't really..as in I have no excuse. I don't know whyy I allowed the well-repressed devil's advocate to burst at the seams of my conscience yesterday.

__________

And yes..I like a man that can stimulate me. mentally.
You can buy me with words. Yes I'm that easy...(or difficult).

"You want to be appreciated in the intellectual areas. Yes, you are slim and pretty, intelligent and resourceful, cheeky and fun, talkative and considerate but you ask yourself: should you be submitting all these to a lifetime of commitment to any ordinary run-of-the-mill Mat Rempit?"

I don't know what's a 'Mat Rempit'.. But yea..I don't want no Mat Rempit.

"You need to be courted with candle-lit dinners with virtuoso ensembles, but Mr Pak Lebai keep on bringing you to Rahmat Tambi Nasi Kandar (cos he wants to see wrestling) or Phee-Fatimah Tooooom Yam (cos its cheap), and he even split the bill once in a while. You are fed-up with having to ride on his polyester-seat proton wira or withstand hearing him talk only about himSELF but most of all you are fed up with the overall ambient sluggishness, immaturity, lack of understanding, lack of lovability, want of patience and an overdose of jealousy, uncalled-for tantrum fits, egotistical over-control and unwanted emotionalism that so frequently accompany such immature young malay bachelors."

Oh yes. But I seriously do not mind RaviVeloo's Briyani at the old run-down kopitiam of my estate's corner from time to time. Not a fussy ger when it comes to food. Just no onions la.

"YOU are a person who needs a real man. Someone who can both lullaby you with his stanzas or croon you with his musical fingers. Amaze you with his feats and yet fascinate you with his stories. Captivate you with his eyes and yet drown you with his love. You need a man to die for, to cry for, to laugh with and be with. You need to live a life of being appreciated, understood, listened to and loved. You need a man with restraints but yet relinquishes his passion in the most innovative manner. Yes, you believe that Internet Relationships are, at best, frequently fraudulent but you also have the intelligence to distinguish between what is true and what is not. You believe that more often than not, good things exist only in dreams. Or in story books. But you also are convinced that once in a while they emerge in realities."

Heh. Yes indeed, I need "a man with restraints but yet relinquishes his passion in the most innovative manner". A-ha. It's not a 'want', it's a 'neeeed'.

No pressure. =)

ANyway.

Enough bout me.

Election results were quite a yawn weren't they? It promised choices, different voices, but eventually it's back to the status quo. Did we even have an election? Or was it eventually just a 'major upgrading' of the ruling party which they fooled us into paying for with our votes? (but well if that's what we want...or maybe that's what we need?)

The only thing the elections did was to bring new blood into the government. But even so, some new blood came into the government without even needing any votes.

But why should I care, You voted. I didn't.

I'm feeling very nostalgic and sleepy this sunday morning.

"I will wait for you...but please come..soon."

thank you disillusionment, thank you consequence, thank you silence....

Thinking bout my future potential(after graduation) financial woes got me really depressed that I succumbed to eating a chocolate bar even though I’ve already just brushed my teeth to go to bed.

Shoot.

Now I’ve to brush my teeth again.

But before that, what the hell, maybe another bar….

My cat’s sick. Dad brought her to the vet, she has kidney problems and she’s on drips! That sucks. I know she’s gonna go..anytime now. That sucks. Never imagined being without my ayooooo, the old feline’s been with me since I was 5 years old! But I’m 21 now….and have well learnt to understand and accept the fact that everyone and everything in life is transient. But still, when she goes…..it’ll suck. (I dunno, I’m just too tired to think up proper vocabularies right now)

What the hell, another chocolate bar pleeeeeeeeeeeez…

And speaking of vocabularies…. The word “Plan” (its noun especially) should be banished from the dictionary…

‘Coz it simply doesn’t exist. Simply Doesn’t.

I am a kaleidescope

Royal Brunei air tix to Brisbane are cheapest so far at 600+++….still need to calculate expenses and accommodation. Anyone wanna come with?

But I’m half-hearted bout Brissy ‘coz Kashmir (if it happens) will happen around the same time. And of course I wouldn’t want to miss out on an all-expenses paid trip for a stab at overseas reporting.

But if the Kashmir *ahem* ‘plan’ doesn’t work out, then fook it, I’m gonna be quite depressed, I don’t care if I’m broke for the rest of the year and on a loan, I will die die fly to brissy and headbang my disappointment away at dcfc’s moshpit….with shazzy wazzay (and whoever who wants to come with). :Dangdut: Heh.

Or heck, maybe if lady luck and divine celestial manipulations and fate permutations and
whatever-else-ations decide to spare a glance at me, I might look to indulge in both?

....or maybe turns out, even nothing at all. (touch wood for me pleeeeez)

We don’t make plans do we?
We change, churn, bend, break, crumple, cross, squash, squeeze, obliterate, obfuscate, demolish, distort, dissolve, transform, twist, negotiate, neglect them but we don’t MAKE plans do we?

Have you MADE any plans lately? Are you sure? Did you see it through? Did it turn out the exact way you made it to? No? Then you can’t really say that you’ve MADE plans, can you?? hmmm?

Gets my goat. I know. The grass is only greener if you're willing to be a 'lil colour blind. It will never be the exact shade as the one you had behind your eyelids.

Eventually there is no such thing as a "plan", there will be "compromise"...there will be "make-do"...

__________

heyyyyy, I thought chocolates were supposed to release endorphins…

don’t seem to be working.

Nevamind.

Retail therapy. Stat!

I will try not to spend too much in light of a possible brissy plan. I'd need all the help I can get to not spend too much. Hewp meeee.

I shall go brush my teeth now.

buenos noche.
