random memories of the past. cherio~

groove armada.

as usual im bored. i've chopped off my hair. n im left wif half of the original length. most of it sticking out of place. so, in 2 weeks time, im going to reds or shunji matsuo. this haircut is nt working out for me. i look too rolly polly oligopoly.

im in need of another retail therapy. bt im down wif my last dollars. reali cant wait for the paycheck. the last retail therapy wasnt exactly a therapy, having to push thru crowds of mango-crazy women. bt i managed to get my 3 tops n most importantly, come out alive. made a mental note to myself to give the next mango sale a miss.

im so bored that im actually reading book one of manfredi's Alexander. its a beautiful bk bt its freaking me out how everyone gets involved in the orgy aft the banquets. and of course all the kings are gays. i tink the Persian king is the worse wif the young blonde boy. the next time i play prince of persia on xbox, it wont be the same again.

wads up wif men in power and being gay? come to think of it, maybe when they said 'go to the mattresses' in the godfather, they dun mean going to war, they meant it literally. eeeeww. and those cheek-kissing must haf been somethg kinky.

wads wif all these gay stuff? and i gt this piece of trivia recently. very interesting indeed.
did you know ? -
at least 40% of females have experienced one homosexual experience in their lifetime.

where the hell is my homosexual experience. thankfully, its yet to be. bt im feeling a little left out. heh.

listening to: the juliana theory - if i told u this was killing me

speaking from past experience, i realised that after 14mths plus of being together, there are many things u can do now that u couldnt do back when u were just starting out. among them are:

1) not having to think of ways to impress the significant other all the time.
2) speaking your mind knowing it might hurt the other half.
3) farting at each other.
4) falling asleep thru a movie date (though this doesnt really apply in my case)
5) having a rainforest grade piece of plant stuck between ur teeth while unknowingly smiling like an idiot.
6) talking animatedly and accidentally spitting rain down from the heavens at the other person (running out of words for "the other person")
7) having to think of ways to make a date different from the previous millionth date that preceeded it.
8) spilling food onto ur clothes and being the stupid and not the endearing one.
9) lastly, loving the person as much as possible for the past 14mth and still loving him/her in time to come.

now point number 9 is my favourite. cherio~

so i'm back. scared myself silly at genting. putting myself thru lotsa crap lah. i'm starting to get fat. i hope.

just got the video from ashri. it was a great show. cherio~

godiva.

You thought it was all about strength, showing me how strong u are, proving that you could fight ur way thru it. But that's not what love's about. It's not about being strong, it's about being weak. All i wanted to know was that you understood that. Do you know what i feel every time you leave me, to go to work, to fetch a pint of milk from the shops, to go wherever you're going? I feel scared. I love you so much that i worry i'm never going to see u again. I long for the moment we'll be together again. I love you so much that it hurts. And that's what i wanted from you. I wanted to know that the loss of our love would hurt u as much as it'd hurt me. Being in love with you is the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me, but it's the most frightening thing as well, because i'm always scared about what would happen if it's taken away from me. Being in love is about being weak, about accepting that things are out of ur control, that u need the other person.

- the catch, mark mason. (yea a guy wrote that.)

this isnt nicholas sparks kinda bk which pays too much attention to satisfy the female readers. its more of nick hornby n mike gayle. yea i love to read guy bks. i tink every girl/woman shud read them. coz only in it they admit they're actually very much idiots in nature n that they're actually sensitive n insecure. n they dont haf those cheesy bedroom scenes u get in sandra brown's novels. n its reali funny how they try to analyse female behaviour. like how we want flowers but complain abt how its gona die anyways n how we must be offered that last piece of papadum before they pop it into their mouth altho we dont reali want it. haha. we, the female of the species, can haf a gd laugh reading abt it. esp in this bk. its like 'why-women-dont-say-certain-thgs-n-why-they-behave-that-way for dummies'. no points for guessing who im gona pass this bk to next. heh. its no da vinci's code but its the best read i've had this year.

that bk n a bar of crunchie have been my companion for the past day since bebs has gone to kl. im in need of a vacation too. hopefully i'll get to go kl the first wk of jan. in the meantime, i'll juz mope arnd at hm, watching the minutes go by in painstakingly slow motion.

listening to: the rocking horse winner - atmosphere

i'm having this urge to sing "im leaving on a jetplane". i'll be out of town for a couple of days. kL - genting - and kL again. except i'm not leaving on a jetplane. i guess i'll be leaving on 4 wheels and a car seat. and inflight (in drive) entertainment will be my sister's whining, my mp3 player and miles and miles of road.

hopefully i cand find a nice zip up vintage jacket from petaling street. hopefully. or bebs will skin me alive wont u bebs? hehe. cherio~

i'm getting pimply by the day. and its only on one side. perplexed, i asked the dermatolagist for the day doctor noriza. and she gave me quite a sensible answer.

"its because u drool on one side only in ur sleep."

pondering over it, i realised that its true. i do sleep on one side. and i drool. therefore i have come up with a couple of solutions.

a) stop drooling.
b) stop drooling on one side and drool on the other side to even it out.
c) just scrub my skin off in the shower.

ideally, option a would have been the best. not only for my pimple problem but to lengthen the usability of my pillowcase. but since its physically impossible, i think option b would be the best. so from today onwards, i shall sleep on my back so my drool wont exit and i'll probably end up drowning in my own spit.

ok full of crap entry. cherio~

anyways, i juz applied for relief teaching. yea for those u cant, teach wad. heh i cant teach for nuts. but wad the hell. if i get it, its $65 per day. all i hafta do is wake up early, sing the national anthem n say the pledge. oh wait, there's recess n free periods. teachers had it easy.

listening to: a static lullaby - charred fields of snow

swallowing bullets of sorrow
the lovelights of your eyes
making me miss your empty smiles
and your serenading words of hate

nothing fills this empty vault
except the hollowness of pain
the darkness of a bright light
and the stillness of a lonely night

yet i still yearn for nothing else
but these remnant memories of u
screaming and cursing in my head
i fall asleep, afraid of a bitter tomorrow.

listening to: estrela - the letter

here i will adapt a passage from this book i'm reading. the book is called dinner for two and its by mike gayle. he's a really cool author. thanks bebs for recommending me this author.

The Art of Talking Without Talking

Here's the scene: my mate Trevor is standing in Wax Lyrical with his girlfriend when he gets The Look.

"What?" he responds.
"you know", she replies.
"i dont", he protest.
"If you loved me you'd know" she says. Then Trevor's gf storms off leaving him holding a box of scented candles.

When days later, he shares the story with me and the rest of our mates down the pub we all nod in silent recognition. "its the female art of talking without talking," i say. "it can really bugger up your day"

A group of us were in the pub when one of our woman friends came in crying. she exchanged one glance with my better half and disappeared to the toilets.

"what was that about?" i asked my good lady.
"she's split up with Tony, she just had an argument with her mum, her cat's sick, she cant make her mind up about a strappy floral print dress she saw and oh.. she hates her job."

"you got all that from one look?" i asked.

another was when me and the woman of my life were at a party. i'd chatted with some strangers, had a dance and went home. in the car however, i was given the silent treatment. apparently i was guilty of being flirted with.

the thing you have to realise about us men is that we're very simple creatures: what you see is what you get. (i like this part best)when it comes to reading the lins we cant - we're illiterate - which is why having a go at us for not understanding why you're upset when you refuse to tell us is both cruel and mean. its like smacking a puppy for leaving a deposit on the carpet when you had clearly stated in a seven page document left in the kitchen drawer that he cant do that. men, like puppies, cant read seven page documents or find any thing located in the kitchen drawer, and most of all, they cant read women's minds. which is why if you ask us to guess what's troubling you we will invariably get it wrong. we dont do this on purpose: what we do is work on the assumption that, mentally speaking, you're a bit like us. this means that there's not a great deal on you mind to "read" other than endless lists of top ten favourite things, pictures of naked women and fluffy clouds.

the answer to the problem is, i'm afraid, a little obvious. in a straw poll of my mates down the pub six out of six of us agreed that the one thing we'd love the women in our lives to do is just tell us what's wrong rather than us having to guess all the time. as my mate put it, we're reasonable peple. if they just talked to us with their lips instead of their brain waves we'd know exactly what to do." so there you have it. save the guessing games and start talking to you man like a regular human being.

rufio - in my eyes

i bet every singaporean will post an entry regarding the Singapore Idol. i think the idol received more publicity and entries on blogger and what not as compared to the PM handover or a singapore election.

but seriously, i was truely relieved that taufik won. glad that singaporeans actually choose talent over the popular one. i was afraid it would turn out to be a popularity not talent vote.

argh a million ppl came over. update this later. cherio~
