Bliss.

Sitting underneath a giant green umbrella by starbucks, enjoying some iced signature chocolate, having a chat with bro...


Blissful sounds, light music, everyday scenes of people chatting, cars in the distance crawling to where they need to go. Streaks of lightning forks and tears the ashen blue canvas which is the evening sky. Voices are fast paced and slow paced, soft and louder; a crescendo of sounds, and yet from within I find peace. My heart is amazingly calm.

Iron Man 2 and Copeland


*5th May*

Woke up to a shrill buzz from W to be there or be square at cine at 3pm SHARP, or i shall face the wrath of Cass...unfortunately upon reaching at 2.59pm sharp, i realized that i was first to reach! haha so i waltz about inside cine and found my way to fred perry on level 4 for viewing pleasure. 3.05 W reached and i promptly let her know that if we were in the amazing race, cass would've been eliminated :P
anyhow's we went to by tickets and to our abject horror, the vacant seats at cine's 3.40 show were crappy and so we booked the 3.50pm tickets for Iron man 2 @ the cathay. So, walked towards the bus stop 18 dollars poorer and rushed to Cathay for our movie, and also grabbing a Large whipped potato on the way.

Iron man 2 didn't really live up to my expectations cos it was really too choppy and offered little excitement IMO. It was the usual guy exuding attitude and stuff but the action really dropped a notch in comparison the the first film. O wells it's the sequels curse i suppose. Thereafter, headed to manhattan fish market@PS for dinner. Had myself the cheery snapper fish and chips which were pretty good~ i'd say for the price, better than fish & co.


Rush rush rush to *Scape Warehouse (behind Cine) to catch Copeland's Final tour! The show was only ok IMO because i liked their slower quieter tunes. In this concert however, they revved it a bit too much and i didn't like the distortion on those songs (brightest was normal)...Here's a short vid.


10pm meant the end of the concert. Feeling the effects of standing and hollering for an hour and a half, we decided on TGiF at Heeren for drinks and seats. Had the customary G&T and we sat and talked about C's new beau and the key actions required to secure the deal...
1130pm and it's time to catch the last train/bus home!~

*6th May*

Woke up again to SMSes to remind me of my lateness! Greg this time, with a nice reminder of KTV i said i'll go for! That meant rush rush rush again outta the house to Chinatown Party World KTV! Yay it's been ages since i last went karaoke-ing with peeps! Anyways, it was awesome as always, my favourite being those ballads by andy lau, jay chou, liang jingru etc etc.
English songs at KTV just seem to lack that ooomph. Somehow at KTV, Chinese songs are just more emo, and i like them better. It was nice to meet up with the FRU bunch to sing, laugh and talk about the transpirings! and i met Gary the new temp clerk (who belts out an amazing bing yu by andy lau). oooh..and Greg gets a special mention here for doing Lady GaGa's Bad romance (10/10 performance there).

720pm, got myself home in one piece, and settled down over mum's super nice moichoi+stewed pork. There was also this err....how should i put this....failed attempt at a korean tofu soup HAHA,..but t'was edible nonetheless!

Chatted with Jeanne over on Skype till we fell asleep..........zzz..........

1108am, i'm off for an emergency Dental appt.!

In the game of love, results are not important. Just enjoy the game.

Finally got over my fever and flu! Met Daniel today at some absurb hour @ 11am at City Hall to hunt for this Fancy Delight Egg Tarts! Unfortunately, the shop has sadly closed down! and so with dropped heads we headed to raffles place to meet Mark for Lunch during his lunch break!

Lunch was a nice Unagi Don for me, since that's about all i can handle at the moment with the blocks between my upper and lower molars! not to mention my aching front teeth! Mark was nice enough to foot the bill for Daniel and i, and i must say i'm full of gratitude!

After lunch the 3 of us sat at china square for some ginger tea and lemon tea! talked about office stuff, and life after school! At around 1 plus Mark had to go back to work, and Dan and i stayed seated till 2 or so before me got off our lazy asses for a long trek down to tanjong pagar in hope of finding the famed egg tart stall!

On the way to raffles place MRT, we spotted the Great Eastern Building which led me to think that Sw may be free to meet! and so i rang her and she promised to be down in 5! And so i put off my egg tarts yet again for the rendezvouz@Hans (TastyTown) at Great Eastern Life Building! It was kinda sad that only 3/4 of the Fantastik-4 were onsite at Hans and this was because Sw (a.k.a fantastik woman) had forgotten all about mobilizing Zhi (a.k.a. invisible man) even though he was in the vicinity! That said, the 3 of us had the morbid-est of chats about dying and life after the (touchwood) passing of our loved ones or parents~ :/ i've long hated topics like this but it's about high time i faced my fears and started thinking about what could be, what eventually will be, and what should happen.....

4pm came before we knew it, and so it was time to make a move before we got SW sacked ho ho ho! so off we went to tanjong pagar for them egg tarts (about time)! upon arrival at tanjong pagar, we quickly checked out bearings before making progress to TP Plaza which should be about a 5-minute walk according to my super senses. Oh wait. We in fact took something like 25 minutes to reach, and in the hot sweltering weather i must say! I witnessed daniel, who was clad in full working attire, summon the most intrepid explorer from within-! haha....In my defence, a good part of the 25 mins was spent talking to a street-worker who was trying her bestest to promote the Singapore Cancer Society, as well as fund-raise! It was awesome knowing that people still do this kinda thing! Sad thing was though, that so many people whom the few of them approached tended to ignore their very existence and walk right by! The nerve of Singaporeans! After buying 9 lovely egg tarts (which were top class i must say!), we had one *torchlight on* final destination: Novena Post Office MuwahahaHaHAahHAhAHAh *torchlight off*

Crazily enough, we managed to get to novena at 510! Fortunately, the 530pm closing hours meant we were on time, and with time to spare too~ Unfortunately, for some reason, the parcel to be collected had not yet arrived at the post office! sadly, all that hustle and bustle was for naught. O wells, getting there and talking nonsense was fun whilst it lasted :D

Alas, all good days come to end; but from there the night is born. 6pm reached home, 7pm K calls me out for dinner, and 730 he arrives at toapayoh MRT. We decide on KFC for my sake; Large whipped potato shall suit my palate. Thereafter, more nonsense taking is the order of the night, as we take our discussion on love and life and relationships onto the pool table. Winner takes all!

K wins 4-1, and with that the chances of love/relationship is not 60% (as i earlier proposed). For his sake however, i hope he's wrong on this one! O wells, he's had a rough time, so i understand his pessimism, and i also understand my optimism, since i am clearly hoping for the best! So i shall settle on 50-50! comeon SpecialK heads or tails?

After today's discussion, Ks view has got me thinking...that in a game of love, the result is not of utmost importance (decided by fate). Just do your best and enjoy the game (experience).
