I'll sing you a lovesong [Dec. 18th, 2009|06:26 pm]

dormantmidnoon


Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you

I will always love you

Now tell me, where do we go from here [Dec. 17th, 2009|04:22 pm]

dormantmidnoon


Terminal 3 for Popeye's yesterday. Wasn't as heavenly as usual probably because my stomach was quite filled to the brim. I like going to the airport it gives me a good feeling. 6 Kinder joys and the disappointment of not getting a toy car later, off we went supposedly to East Coast Park.

A few turns later and viola, Changi Beach Park. Don't know what happened. Changi Beach was kind of smelly but we had fun trying to spot illegal immigrants and trying to appreciate the peaceful surroundings.

Me: Look, there are stars tonight
E: So, never see stars before ar?

Act cool until can die.

"I've never been more gripped with possibilities and opportunities and adventures, and now I just want to stretch my arms out as wide as they can go and gobble the world up."

--http://missporcelain.livejournal.com

I've not felt such joy and satisfaction with life in a long time, and much as sometimes my soul aches, my eyes burn, I want to keep going on this way. To be able to step into each day as my own person and not bother about what anyone thinks, to take each day as a day on its own.

I've a million and one things to settle before I fly off, but right now, each day seem to be filled with endless possibilities.

My mum has a habit of asking me each night my plans for the next day, what time I intend to leave home and if I'd be having dinner at home.
Recently all I've been telling her is that I'd decide my plans for the day only after I wake up in the morning, and not having a plan has never felt better.

And it's not so much the level of pleasure gathered from the activity itself, but rather the state in which I'm breathing it in.
Be it clubbing till we're dead beat, spontaneous shopping trips, scrapbooking and attempts at korean desserts, or simply just spending the entire day curled up watching drama, I feel so alive.

In a strange way, I do not feel as much of bond with anyone in particular now, but rather I feel connected with all these different people around me. It doesn't really matter whether or not they know who I am, or be able to guess what I'd say. I believe I'm finally starting to get a proper grasp on the concept of personal space.

But of course, being me, I tend to slip in and out of such a state of mind, but as much as possible, I would like to stay this way.

My home is where you are [Dec. 16th, 2009|07:15 pm]

Headed to the Tea Party yesterday. Marvelous little place with excellent food and drinks. Passed time playing Taboo which is always fun because you have to have a good command of English to play it. Like, you probably can't play it with people who are stupid. It's all the way over at Bukit Timah but distance is now not a problem anymore.

Spent 40 minutes listening to 98.7FM in my car and exploring all the compartments while waiting for somebody's mother to fall asleep. Heading over to Pasir Ris park after that for some quality quiet time. Spotted sea monsters and a couple of swans but nothing too dangerous. Had cheezels, chocolates and Pokka Milk Tea for company so we were all set for doing absolutely nothing. As long as you have time to enjoy life's simple luxuries, you should count your blessings and I do.

Had a little problem getting home after that had to take a little road trip down to Changi Airport but oh well driving's fun and I topped up the petrol tank earlier on so no worries. Reached home at around 430 in the morning and flopped down dead on the bed.

Craving Geylang Dimsum now even though I just had my favorite cereal prawns for dinner my aunt's deshelled prawns are orgasmic I can eat them everyday.

That's where I'm going to go for my holiday. Well, for the last 3 days anyway.

Gonna visit Hainan Island, back to the village where my grandparents came from. I have really mixed feelings about this trip! On one hand, Hainan Island isn't exactly the most modern place in the world. But I think it'd be kind of interesting to see where my grandparents used to live and stuff. Like, visiting your cultural/heritage roots right? Heh. And also, the beach is calling out to meeeee. I am thinking of scuba diving/snorkeling/jet-skiing/suntanning.

Maybe I'd meet some Hainan hunks.

HAHAHAHAAH

Okay I need to watch:
  1. New Moon (I don't care that it sucks. It has topless hot boys. I am only going for the eyecandy)
  2. Up in the Air (from the director of Thank You For Smoking and Juno)
  3. A Single Man (Tom Ford directing, Colin Firth and Julianne Moore acting. Need I say more?)
  4. An Education (DOMINIC COOPER)
  5. Sherlock Holmes (SQUEE!)
  6. New York, I Love You (31st December!)
  7. It's Complicated (14th January! [info]alistenhere , [info]justravished , [info]in_cantations ! We watch together ah)
  8. Leap Year (whenever it opens. It looks like a good chick flick! I love chick flicks yay they are my guilty pleasure.)
  9. Letters to Juliet (another chick flick!)
  10. Remember Me (because RPattz looks like he can act in this one)
  11. The Men Who Stare At Goats
  12. Me and Orson Welles (Yes, Zefron. He is hot. Also, funny.)
I am trawling through apple.com/trailers. Can you tell? HAHA

Edit: Since we're on the subject of movies, I've just seen the Golden Globe nominees, and I think it's a pretty close race all around this time! There really isn't one standout in any category I think. Except maybe Best Original Song. But I'm biased. "Cinema Italiano" from Nine was stuck in my head for a whole week. And I haven't even watched the movie yet!

Look me in the eye and tell me that you're happy now. [Dec. 15th, 2009|02:51 am]

I like taking afternoon naps. Just because I can.

Just back from Holland. I think I drove on every highway in Singapore. Petrol level's running low but oh well, it beats public transport. Was a good night as always. Had a budget dinner at the hawker center and then off we go to Starbucks where Keith treated us coffee because he just ORDed today! Then started planning our eagerly-anticipated holiday trip and it's pretty much decided that Ho Chi Minh it shall be. Nice.

I've been bumming for more than a month now and time really flies especially when there's nothing to do except leading a hedonistic lifestyle. My excuse for not being employed right now is that it's the festive season man! Who wants to work amidst the warm fuzzy Christmas mood right? When 2010 comes along then I'd consider my available options once more. I'm taking it day by day and waiting for life to surprise me.

I want to go East Coast Park preferably at night I want to sit by the ocean. Throw some pebbles maybe shout a couple of times. Enjoy the breeze, eat some chips. Who knows I may see a shooting star I'd close my eyes tight, make a wish. I'd see an aeroplane I'll wave at it I may not know anybody on the flight but maybe someone will see me and go Hey there's someone waving at me. That person would wave back, I will not see it but for that split moment we are waving to each other like friends. Okay I sound crazy but oh what the fuck.

when it rains in dubai, cars crash. [Dec. 14th, 2009|02:16 am]

[Tags|, , ]

My Dubai guidebook said something like "Driving when it rains is hazardous simply because Dubai drivers are not used to wet weather driving. There is a considerable increase in the number of traffic accidents during wet weather." I found this statement extremely lulz-y, until it rained on the last day I was there and during a 20 minute cab ride, I witnessed 3 accidents. Apparently it rains only about 6 times a year?

It is not something I am proud of, and of all the people in the world, I should know what it feels like.
But really, sometimes people do what they do, because the right way is the hard way.
And now this just sounds like a pathetic excuse for taking the easy way out.

Cause we are running into the sun
Getting close to something into the sun
You know that we're falling

omg I'm totally in love with a fictional character, AGAIN.
I love you hwang tae kyung! (jang geung suk)
oh, you heartthrob (:

"Jang Geun Suk also made it clear that he was a lot like his character on You're Beautiful, stating, "I am a bad boy. I feel like I'd have no charm if I were nice to my girlfriend all the time. If I get a girlfriend though, I think I'd do a good job."' "

AWWWW DREAMBOY :D

Love is the way we don't have to exchange words to know what the other side is thinking, the hugs we share, the fights we have gone through, teppenyaki, exploring new places together, sleepovers, cooking, baking, cuddling on rainy days, nights filled with nicotine and alcohol, your silly behavior when you're tipsy (who talks to a road sign and hugs the pole?), the wave of comfort that washes over me when either of us are overseas and I hear your voice, a simple text message saying I love you , tickles, pinches, laughing, promises, plans, the past, the present, the future, and Love is a whole lot of other things.

But one thing is for sure: Love is you, I and the careless mixture of everything else.

Happy 16th, sweetheart.

Je t'aimerai toujours [Dec. 13th, 2009|04:01 am]

MC-ing the wedding went smoothly, I'm relieved. The food at Conrad was decent, not mind-blowing though. The girl that served us had this permanent frown on her face the whole night my Dad kept asking me to ask her why she was so sad. Was fun taking loads of photos, as it always is especially when everyone's dressed so smartly. Next wedding would be one year from now, already looking forward to it and determined not to grow fat so I can still fit into my suit.

Drove the family back and then went for a little supper spin. Picked J up, went to get Macs at a drive-through and off we went to Seletar Dam for cooling breezes and good catch up. Was my first time there actually, and it was quite an eye-opener seeing quite a crowd hanging about. Numerous motorcyclists racing around, I had an eye on them to make sure they didnt bang into my car haha. Saw some fishermen being very patient and having a super relaxed night. There definitely would be a second trip over.

Woke up today, had some E time and rushed off to Cathay for what turned out to be an extremely waste of time in the form of Storm Warriors, or whatever the title was. Some lame Chinese movie with people flying about, creating fire and wind with their hands and basically trying to kill with aforementioned superpowers. Horrible. Headed over to this vintage looking bar called Night & Day, and we were probably early so we had the whole place to ourselves and it was awesome. Just hung around chilling and laughing non-stop as we always do. It's great to see us still as tight as before even after graduating from CJ. Weirdly, I think we grew even closer than we were in school. Probably cause we had other commitments then. We're going to try to plan another overseas trip so it's something to look forward to!

Man Utd just lost to Aston Villa what the fuck Fergie keeps playing 4-5-1 which obviously doesn't work we need 4-4-2 come on. Sour mood now where's my favurite hello when I need some happy.

what's a bolt but a glorified screw [Dec. 12th, 2009|08:29 am]

resiliang
Hm, I've been stuck in monotony for a couple of weeks now, but yesterday I finally reaped the fruits (DIS PEAR) of my labour when I received my first paycheck ever in the mail. Hurray! Now I have disposable income. Also, this is my first contribution to CPF, it's going to be the start of a long and abusive relationship between this contraption and I. Working-class zombie, here I come.

Work has been manageable, but I think they want to move me over to finance/accounts partially and give me twice the amount of work. I don't have good vibes from my department's boss, I think they're trying to milk me of all the labour I'm capable of. I'm not some cash cow ): Still going to do it for the testimonial though, it's a gas and seals company and I'm more or less taking the job of a regular employee, so the experience should count for something on paper.

Have been sick for the past few days, down with sore throat and the flu. A little better now, but still feeling quite ill. I hate being sick and at work at the same time.

On a lighter note, I watched Wild Rice's Beauty and the Beast at the National Library on Wednesday. Quite good, when it came to local puns, but I felt that it lacked a general kind of big message, what it did have, though, were tiny anecdotes and commentaries on society. Funny, but does not quite hit the mark when it comes to delivering a message. However! The songs were still quite nice to listen to, I somewhat regret not buying their CD because the theme song has been looping in my head for a couple of days already.

The Final Fantasy Dissidia tournament that I've been organizing for a month now will finally take place today. Hopefully my tournament format comes out well and everyone is nice and cooperative. Will have many youtube replays to show for it, hurray! My channel is really shaping up (:

JUST GOT HOME.
Before my long post with photographs of Dubai when I get back from training later, I just wanted to say PRAISE THE LORD, GOD IS GOOD, NOTHING I DO IS WITHOUT HIS GRACE. Basically, I jut checked my grades. What I thought would be an EPIC disaster of like Richter scale proportions turned out to be like WOAH! And even made my GPA go up!

Amazing.

PS: should I go to Zoukout?

Brown eyes and lungs are filled up with smoke [Dec. 10th, 2009|01:33 pm]

Last night was great, albeit a little messy. Was marvelous bumping into so many familiar faces and just catching up for a minute or two. It was unbelievably crowded though and it was made known that it was due to the recently passed POP. Wasn't really keen to rub shoulders with all the newly trained soldiers. Been there, done that bitches. But still, awesome night awesome night.

The old man's coming home tonight for the wedding tomorrow. Mom was like, please MC the wedding properly don't throw face. Wow, vote of confidence there. Just received the MC script and it looks pretty straighforward. Unless I choke halfway or like lose my voice, I don't foresee any problems. Hopefully. My whole extended family is there. I screw up and I probably wouldn't hear the end of it. Alright, no stress Dalton.

P.S. Sorry for being an aggressive vampire.
