The narrative resumes.

boredom breeds inspiration. tonight i feel inspired to blog about today. so, my day in detail. if just to make you feel better. see now you can feel better about yours. actually today was no different from any other day, they all seem more or less the same nowadays. in fact i forgot today was wednesday until 11+ this morning, then forgot it was wednesday again, until 7+ when i checked the papers to contemplate watching pck lol.

so. (blah this is damn sad) i woke at 730, stayed in bed till 8 something, went downstairs. and i ask my maid to prepare breakfast, and she says what do you want, and i say anything, and she asks bread or noodles (the same lines every day) . so today i felt like eating noodles so i said noodles, and she asks what flavour (yes obviously its cup noodles what were u expecting lol) and i randomly point one out, and its chicken, so yea im okay with chicken. so i eat chicken flavoured cup noodles while watching tv. now in the 8 oclock hour theres seriously nothing to watch so i watched crocodile hunter diaries on animal planet, starring steve irwin (the late). during that episode they let a kangaroo die, a sea snake die (steve irwin was showing bindi sue how to identify a sea snake and took the dehydrated wrinkled dying snake and held up the tail and said look its tail is shaped like a paddle, thats how you tell its a sea snake oO), and hand carried a 170 year old tortoise that charles darwin studied to its new enclosure at the australia zoo lol.
then i got bored so i went upstairs and played maple till 9 something and played dota till 1. not worth mentioning, that.

then i went for lunch. second meal of the day yay. it was pizza. my favourite (toasted frozen pizza of course lol). but seriously its nice. so as i ate i watched the legend of zorro. that lasted till 2. then i watched the living edens on nat geo lol. todays episode was about madagascar 8-). 80 percent of species of plants and animals found on madagascar are found exclusively on madagascar. and chameleons change their colours not for the purpose of camouflage, but to communicate with other chameleons. oh and there were lemurs of course. 230 sisters piano teacher comes, so i retreat upstairs to continue watching tv. so i stop watching the nat geo show lol and switch to hbo. Eurotrip is showing halfway. and its funnier than the nat geo show =p(besides, it has some sexual content. actually so do documentaries lol so nevermind). so i watch eurotrip. while listening to my sisters piano lesson oO. okay then i go upstairs(further upstairs i mean) and played dota. hmm x-1 lycan, where x is a number i cannot remember.got 8 kills, died once, then never killed again for the next 20 something minutes. x is between 8-11 lol. right. then more maple. i levelled up. yay -.-.

oooh highlight of the day. having finished reading sweet thursday and done a lousy job of comprehending it i decided it was time to stop letting my overdue fines accumulate. so i walked to the library. could have taken the bus, but holidays imply a lack of exercise. if walking can be considered exercise that is. anyway it had just rained. and i somehow decided to wear slippers. so one thing i learnt today would be never walk long distances on wet ground in slippers while engaging in (fairly) deep thought. deep in the sense that you are absorbed in it, not to be confused with mature thought, or logical thought. dont get me wrong, thinking and walking were made for each other. well at least thinking and pacing. this belief should explain my inefficiency at completing homework. anyway, todays topic was uhh. how the truth is always corrupted. and not just because its told that way. more about the ugly side to everything oO. for example you could give alot of money to charity, and the truth is that you do want to help people, but its also because you want ur name in the papers. stuff like that. subconscious or not. lousy analogy, but wdv. and uhh something about in considering all the possibilities theres bound to be unpleasant ones popping out that u wish you never thought about. some crap like that. oh and also contemplating Fate, as usual. no seriously its damn weird. but thats not the point. the point is in my state of near-zoned out-ness i managed to almost slip (hurhur slippers) no less than 4 times and got rudely jolted out of thought(probably a good thing), got startled by a damn bicycle going over the drain cover, and forgot i had the right of way at a zebra crossing until the motorbike stopped to let me walk.

okay now the funny part(strange/amusing/both). i saw jenson at the library with his friend (20 something?) :O. ok no scandal. male friend. they was discussing something and there was a cs lewis book on the table. so i picked my books, in record time i think, then went to borrow. But. the machine wouldnt let me. cos i had fines to pay =(. i suppose the nlb isnt as dumb as i thought. so i finally exceeded the fine limit lol. having not gone to the library/paid fines for a damn long time, i went to the counter to pay -.-. but they dont accept cash. anymore. now must pay by cashcard wth. obviously i have no cashcard. but by some absurd/divine coincidence, jensons friend happens to be there lol. so uhh yea lucky me he has a cashcard. so i ended up being able to borrow books. the fines, btw, came up to $6.05 lol. i cleaned out half the guys cashcard. (of course i returned the money) lol i borrowed on beauty, following wts advice. better get started on at least looking for books for h3 -.-. and. knife of dreams, book eleven of the wheel of time. finally found it, after more than a yr. :o. haha yea, Robert Jordan. one must begin what one has started no? even if it appears to be trash lol. oh and i ended up getting a blister(i think) on the left sole and my skin on the right foot sustained mild injury from the slippers.

the rest of the day= not worth mentioning. i bet you are now making decisions at the margin, and thinking what the crap if i have to hear another bit of this pointless shit i will stop visiting this blog forever. okay so thats my average day for you. ohnoesiamexposedplsdontshootme. and im bored, so dont flame me for excessive description plskthxbai

long overdue post. anyway i think i shall stop trying to make my posts seem encrypted (intentionally or otherwise) cos after putting the last one on mental replay i realized there could be a thousand unintended interpretations. so anyway. back to typing stuff which does not stress my brain out. that much.

for today i will pretend to not be apathetic about socio-political issues. todays topic: the rising standard of living for children. so anyway. my sister got first in class. so she could get a reward. (damn i never got anything for grades =() so what did she get? a tamagotchi. okay the people who read this blog are probably not familiar with whats hip and cool among the younger generation, the future of singapore. apparently paper aluminium and plastic arent the only things that are recycled. tamagotchi is now into version 3 :o. and if in case you think my sister is plain weird, the stuff was nearly sold out at parkway (left 2 designs, singapore special editions, but my sister didnt want lol) . and at tampines isetan (tm seriously sucks on a sunday afternoon btw, reminded my why i hate crowded places) it was sold out. and there wasnt any at metro, and only got one at toys r us. anyway, my point is, kids these days have such freedom. my sister has cable tv, neopets, maple, and a tamagotchi. when i was in p3...why, i was doing homework, homework, homework, was more or less banned from tv, and in my free time i did origami and read (alot [well relatively, i used to finish all my library books within the first week, now i always return late lol][oh and they are never getting me to pay my fines]). lol okay all this was probably good for me back then. but still. they say people dont know what they have. well sometimes people dont know what they dont have. (okay i think i jacked myself there but nvm) 'what if', quoth jack nicholson,'this is as good as it gets?'

Shhhh was what i said

---Hypothesis---

methinks faith is what we all need. yea well i guess i need it too. faith in self, and faith in..other people. and when either proves to be misplaced, faith in God. (the last i think im starting to have less trouble with). faith is defined by the bible: --1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen-- Hebrews 11 (i dont know wad version, i got it off the net, my bible being downstairs, and google being far nearer). hard? yea course its hard.

then theres always gravity, lurking, somewhere. if faith is the thesis, gravity is the anti-thesis. it says, you cant do it, youre too weak, youre basically shit, dont do it, its only gonna end in failure (damn im sounding like a self-help book). of course no one calls it gravity but me, and if you are searching for the origin of my definition, look in the archives, and observe the date, its not a very pleasant thing to be explaining. i believe there was an amateur attempt at something vaguely poetic going on in my head that day, something like, for every spark of light in the night sky, desperately seeking heaven, theres gravity to pull it down, and it never does get there, and it explodes in a brilliant burst of colour and disintegrates into little sparks, and people go wow, and they call it fireworks, but hey, this is an era where people take pleasure in everyone elses pain is it not. only birds defy gravity. planes....yea well they consume large amounts of fuel. not natural =/. not that im complaining.

ahh damn im saying too much. i must be getting weak (something for another day, perhaps). anyway. they can fight and fight, and theyll go on fighting, and no one will win, not for some time anyway. who's to say which one should? there is such a thing as misplaced faith, after all. oh and unfounded sometimes something comes along and banishes gravity to hell, where it came from. or it might screw faith into the clouds where it belongs. course its only temporary. oh and sometimes, sometimes. something comes along, heaven-sent mayhap, and blows the confusion to oblivion, where it should be, or at least something like that, for a few hours, perhaps, of bliss. it is, after all, all in the mind. then the timing of it all amazes you, and so does the...knowing, for a moment.

As is my entire theory. which can either be common knowledge, which means i am merely rephrasing the obvious, or just uhh crap lol. holidays are prime time for mosquito breeding. i dont believe i speak from much experience, so the above is mostly insubstantial. and when one day i am about to shut down the blog and browse through all the archives i'll come back and wonder about the point of the above, which i admit i do not know, and think wtf this post is full of shit. (the last sentence was like a time capsule, ya. how exciting) ha, but i guess i should have more faith.

-page break, or maybe you should take an eye break, listen to moh now-

---The Alternative would not be something i could Live with---

part 2 baby. so yesterday i went to vivocity to watch Monster House( in 3d!) with wr and js basically i saw no point to the show, and the cinema was 90% empty. seriously it was just us and 4 other rj ppl and some pri sch kids and some middle-aged woman sitting beside me who kept going 'uh oh' and 'oh' in some hongkong/taiwan/china accent. who came with....some 60 something year old woman? i think they thought it was a horror show or something. then went shopping, not that i bought anything, saw quite a few people, etc lol.

most drama, in my experience, is self-created, subconsciously or otherwise. hmm although if you were to purposely stay out of trouble then life would be boring and go nowhere. still, i dont really believe in creating drama. anyway, some choices lead to drama, and they're ones that you probably need to make, so that path you'll have to take, and thats the other side of the argument i guess. but thats something for another day. or maybe its best not to even try. the following was drama in my path.

anyway fine i have to boast. lol. so yesterday i was walking home, and as i walked along the...path at the side of the house, which is beside a drain-canal-like thing, i chanced upon a bird on the floor. it was a dove i think, except it was green, and smaller than your average pigeon. never before seen in singapore, for me at least. and it was lying on its back. injured =/. it was kinda..lame. couldnt walk, couldnt fly too well. and there were..crows and mynahs around. this was around my side gate. so i call my maid over, and she kinda makes some comments that arent much help, and we approach the thing and it manages to fly...into the drain =/ and then it decides to lie there. the canal/drain, btw is pretty big. anw the crows were like perched on the fence opposite and cawing most ominously, so what else was there to be done, but ask my maid for a towel, and go down into the mostly-dry drain. anyway it couldnt really move, but could fly when i tried to pick it up. very short distances. so me, being afraid of flapping wings, did not catch it. instead my neighbours granddaughter florence, who happened to be at my house..playing with my sister (shes in s2..ithink) or something, decided to join the campaign, and uhh somehow she could catch it and i couldnt. so anyway i had it in the towel( did i say towel i mean floorcloth lol) in my hands but i had no idea what to do with it. was thinking of walking to the nearest vet, but...i duno. on closer observation its throat had a gaping hole and there was some spherical object sticking out of it, and i could glimpse the inside. uhh anyway it was quite gross. ( that, however, only struck me this morning). so i was walking out when florence came and said something like, consult the fruit stall uncle, which i had at that point in time just passed. so he says yang bu huo le, and something about bird flu, and points to the grass patch next to his shop, and says put it there ba (in chinese). so i did =/, and left it there(there was blood on the towel, i mean floorcloth), and i dont know whats become of it (i thought the crows wouldnt be able to get to it there). but according to florence whos grandfathers house is 2 houses away from the fruit stall its gone now so...i duno lol. Rest In Peace then, i hope. still, i duno if i would have even tried if it was a crow and not some cute ass pigeon/dove. moral of the story? i duno, at least i tried...and possibly saved it from the indignity of getting screwed by crows. though i dont think it might have cared much for indignity, cos those wounds must have freaking hurt. yea so...rip. that was one bloody long paragraph, arent you glad you took that eyebreak.

point of me mentioning all this? seriously, its partly to brag about how nice i am. haha im not kidding =/. it is a rather interesting story for myself anyway.
'if you're lost, run around like a headless chicken all you want, just dont scream, dont make a sound. that way, they'll say you're mysterious, brooding, and alot of things, but nothing negative ;)'. haha crap i spent 2 hrs 45 minutes typing this. waste of time =/.

No.

T(AT)

In more ways than two. Ha. titular genius. wdv that means. anyway been wanting to blog for quite some time. wanted to blog about The Accidental, which i read, after wangtings sort-of recommendation, and reading the first chapter like long ago. so despite my half-crazed thoughts of blogging something half-psychotic in accordance with the narrative tone of the book, which was at that time stuck in my head, i wont. instead all i will say is Go Read It.

Anyway. my bloody body clock seems to be unable to adapt to the holidays. as such i have been getting around 6 hours of sleep. for example on pw op day i woke up at 530. before going back to sleep for 10 minute intervals or something. today was another 530 day, but managed to go back to sleep, till seven. which is still abnormal for a saturday, and also considering my completely wearing myself out the last 2 days. maybe it was the dream, which was seriously weird, but provided abit of relief. well, you were in it.
You were on the floor. the floor! Im tired. course you are. I have my principles. Yes, they are tiring are they not. I have my reasons; have you forgotten. I should. Inadequacy, You say. yeah well maybe. You dont understand me, You cry, to no one in particular. Ah cut your emo-angst.I dont know; dont know; dont know. Ha; sorry, but i'll have to go with you on that one. uhh right. anyway You werent in my dream. And well no that wasnt the dream. anyway i woke up at 7 again and found my hair messier than it had been in ages(actually i think that had something to do with my sleeping with my hair wet). so much for half-psychotic paragraphs.

Why is always the most important question. once you got that sorted out, the rest is a-okay, smooth sailing, merry christmas, send a bouquet, put a s(t)ock(ing) in it. more or less. why did you? why would you? why were you? why do this? why not? why wonder why, when you you know youre not going to get an answer (i think too much)? still You do it, over and over, but whatever_, Time After Time. wooo half-psychotic paragraph once more.

lol okay anyway. no im not going crazy/committing suicide/depressed/lovesick/wdv. why not? uhh next paragraph. anyway past few days have been rather busy. okay recap. thursday. well. i am rather proud of myself for having done op, buying herman (and unecessary tupperware), rushing home to chiong InR in 2 hours, gone out again, lanning till 11, and not having dropped dead. dinner was...pretty good? i mean we did as best as circumstance would allow =/. and hey at least i managed to keep herman alive ^^. friday, was out the whole day, and i am rather proud of myself for not having dropped dead. still. vadis play was...alright i guess. was observing this old angmoh couple at the corner. they never laughed, not once. and after vadi came out i saw their seats empty. but i guess thats just my problem, i give too much shit about what people think.

Yay and so i get to today. went on the doulos, which, for the ignorant, is a missionary ship (if thats the proper phrase for it) that sails the world. basically i was half-conned into going. you see there was an announcement in church last week for people to take care of the u-12s i.e. pri sch chillun, who were going on a tour of the ship. but. sometimes the memory takes shortcuts. like, skips a few bits of detail. so i completely forgot about that, and when jianhorng (my dg leader, for the ignorant) smsed me if i was available to go, i felt obliged to, thinking everyone else would be there. okay anyway so ended up being a junior caretaker or something like that. cos adults outnumber youths, adults+youths outnumber children. so uhh. yeah.not like i did much. so the ship was pretty boring, seeing how the less-than-30-minute tour was targetted at children. but yea well. interesting to note how each of them on board must have some fascinating story to tell. they could compile stuff into a journal, and put it in the bookshop, and i would buy that, cos the bookstores nothing much imo =/. haha they were playing music in the bookstore. uhh they played Still ( i think thats what its called).how apt that it should be raining everywhere. and yeah theres not that much shelter around.to cut a long story short, i got wet. yay one of the reasons why i dont change hairstyle. to look upon my reflection in the mirror when my hair is rain soaked. lol! anyway ended up laughing quite deliriously. and i was happy for the next few hours.

and so ends my very long post. and whassup with the inefficiency. for the record, its 1:08 now. below should be the time i started typing. and uhh in case i sound half-crazed, this(actually its probably just the half-psychotic paragraphs) is what you get from pacing round church while staring at the floor, for half an hour? in circles no less. if i do, well screw tat lol. then again, nvm.

[Right. so im sort of editing a little. woke up at 630 today i.e. the next morning/the same morning. how nice 5 hrs of sleep. =.=. sucks that blog posts never turn out the way i want them to. and uhh tell me if you think youve figured out all the possible interpretations of the title ^^]

I dont believe we've been introduced proper.

i've nothing to do, and weiren requests i blog. about myself. very well, your wish is my command. but i must add that the information presented in this post may not be reliable or accurate, as the first and most important thing about myself(and everyone else) is that i dont know myself, or dont want to, or dont want to think about it. i think. ugh, this is gonna be dry.

Hi, my name is. im not telling u my name. in case the mob comes looking for me one day, it would make it harder to trace my name through my blog. muahaha. although i dont think the mob visits my blog, and the tagboard should be sufficient for uncovering my name.

a guy who wasnt really funny once said, 'if you fail miserably at being funny, well, thats as good as being funny'. and in case you havent discovered by now, i am a believer of this principle. well thats one thing about me. ...And i am unable to think of any more 'things' about me. so, on to the next section. strengths and weaknesses! yeah, like them CLE pieces of paper. except i was never able to fill one up properly. so what makes me think i can do it now.

Weaknesses first. as i see them.
1) I worry too much. insecurity, paranoia, whatever you want to call it. all of it. you get my drift.
2) All thought and no action, sloth, procrastination. whatever you want to call it. all of it. you get my drift.
3) Highly irritable. with some people, anyway. which probably makes it worse. and especially at home.
4) Indecision. which is probably linked to the first two. irresolution due to ease of influence from external opinion, and lack of (belief in?) own.
5) Pride. is a bad thing. pride is not just self-belief, its believing oneself to be superior to almost everyone else. inflated ego larger than the Arizona desert. got burst somewhere along the way, i think. now airs being pumped into it again.

Strengths. maybe.
1) Pride. pride is also the refusal to acknowledge most other people as superior. and if you think ur gonna make me do something i dont like doing/feel no obligation to do without me cursing u secretly..
2) Self-sufficiency.[ linked to (1), and does not apply to the more relevant aspects of life, like uhh cooking and washing ^^. ] well for now anyway. lol maybe its cos i dont have many needs/preferences. wants are the more-than-sufficient. the lamers at Cactus Mineral Water came up with a rather intelligent slogan for their brand of air minuman. Life goes on, it says. holy sheet im quoting mineral water bottles now.
3) Modesty? lol. the futile fight against the ego. and uhh i think anyone claiming to be modest is highly ironic, and basically jacks himself.

I would like to believe that..(complete the sentence). Hope.
1) I have talents(i cant decide if this should be a fullstop or exclamation mark) Which makes people feel useful/better about themselves. huh. lit, some might believe. (lol shuttup not a reference to prakash). origami? i duno i was watching an origami video(youtube does have everything) of something the other day, and i thought mine looked nicer =/. probably sucky resolution though. DotA? hardly, lol. its a bloody rat race out there.
2) things will turn out for the better. eventually. without me having to do much. lol this is redundant, who doesnt. but i seriously do.
3) the last 17 years of my life have been more interesting/dramatic than the average person. but the past 5 years have taught me that everyone has their own stories.
4) anyone can do anything, or at least i can, with enough time and on pure willpower. that my potential is limitless.
5) People cant be defined by making long lists of what they did and what they like and what i have just done, cause theres a whole lot more. and people change. not a list, an essence. ha. well. what i would like to believe.

Amendments: add 'inefficiency' to weaknesses. its been more than an hour since i started. Also add 'does not divulge personal information easily' to...whichever of the three u might find the most appropriate. the uses of mystery.

and thats enough information for today lol. hopefully this entry might be of some use to you. and if you thought it was more full of shit than newater before the filtration stage (just had to put that somewhere), as some part of me secretly believes, well too bad.

Border than thou

title says it all. by experimenting with form, i also prove just how bored i am. having nothing much to blog about, its back to the ol' narrative for the day. so this morning i woke up. at 5. then mugged chem. then brushed my teeth. then wdv skip this. then collected results slip. then chem spa. then slacked around for abit. then went to eat lunch with jenson wr jishun. then met raja, and since there was time before movie started we stoned at macs and watched raja eat.

anyway. i think the bishan gay leads a very interesting life, observing ri/rj/other school students behind that newspaper and pervy smile. i mean obviously students are more interesting to observe than adults. i suppose he followed the ri ppls activities only because there was not much alternative. rj people are a hell lot more interesting to observe. in my opinion. i bet if u sat around for long enough something highly interesting is bound to happen. plus macs is a prime spot for flaming people that walk by out of earshot. and sourcing for gossip material. in a completely random and unrelated mention, today, among other people, crunch and nelson were spotted.

okayyyy. on to other things. watched death note. it was pretty cool i guess, what with prettybois masquerading as cooliobois. okay that is not a true reflection of the show, its just another symptom of boredom. it was pretty cool. but when someone keeps telling u something is cool, it doesnt become that cool anymore. and uhh jenson kept hitting me and saying 'so exciting'. =/. in addition, why does it not feel as impressive as hollywood films, apart from the crappy cgi.

in accordance with albars teachings, i have been making a conscious effort to observe random people on the trains. course usually it doesnt yield much. and people are usually forgotten. but. an interesting scenario today. and i shall attempt to, using my limited descriptive skills, to...describe it. ok. so im standing at my usual spot, that is to say, the area around the doors that dont open except at city hall/braddell. the one closest to the linkage between the carriages. so i could see that area, where people go to make out -.- so at the edge of that area, theres a woman leaning her side against the wall(arms folded), facing outwards, looking extremely stoned. dressed like shes going to supermarket or something (grey shorts, pink flip flops, dyed hair i think, quite unnoticeable). looks 30 something, probably 20 something. a little plump, short. short relative to the 2 standing behind her that is =/. tall (big is more appropriate) guy and tall girl, with hair thats dyed to a larger extent(blonde at that). now these people look 20 something. well they arent making out, but theres physical contact involved. so for awhile i was thinking, the poor ladys probably thinking, wth i wish they would pick a better spot than less than a metre behind me. but. then the guy(yes the guy) taps her shoulder(for the sake of it?), and she turns behind and engages in a little conversation with the two, smiling rather unconvincingly (unable to describe objectively). then she turns back around and resumes her staring into space with a tinge of buay song-ness. (see previous bracket) right. so she knew them. draw ur own inferences/conclusions please. now if one day i am ever caught in a situation like that remind me to slap myself or something.

lol that was exceedingly unecessarily long. but the highlight of the day was obviously the walk home in the storm, which can be themed 'all or nothing'. firstly the weather pattern seems to have been following this trend of late. they give u a storm, or they give u much heat. secondly this applies to umbrellas. either u bring the huge walking stick umbrellas, which provide considerable protection from most storms, or dont bring any at all, and wait for the damn rain to stop. i mean yeah you'll still be walking in water half the height of your shoe, but at least u wont get ur pants soaked to knee level. bringing puny little umbrellas that the rain takes not into consideration doesnt work very well. yeah so that more or less sums up my little adventure in the rain, and events for the day. though i think i might drown in exaggerated self-pity before i drown in the rain.
