back at ground zero

ground zero
n.
  1. The target of a projectile, such as a missile or bomb
  2. The site directly below, directly above, or at the point of detonation of a nuclear weapon
  3. The center of rapid or intense development or change
  4. The starting point or most basic level

back at work.
day shift.
back to the hum drum days of waiting for lunch-time;
waiting for the subsidization of the post-lunch syndrome;
and finally waiting for the time to knock off...

back on schedule.
classes.
back to cramming his schedule with three days of classes per week;
cramming his schedule with arrangements to catch up for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner;
and finally more cramming of his schedule with any possible slots to take a break overseas with me...

back in Singapore.
not for long, i hope.
back to jam-packed buses and trains;
back to the darn monotonous TV channels (glad i've got cable TV);
back to crowded malls of which, at least half of them have the same variety of shops...

back on track.
maybe yes. maybe no.

啦啦啦啦...

坐在巷口的那对男女
紧紧的抱在一起
一动也不动的呆在那里
时间好像跟他们没关系
是什么样的心情什么样的心情
难道这就是爱情
啦啦啦啦...

坐在巷口的那对男女
脸上没有表情
路灯一盏一盏的熄灭
他们始终没有说上半句
是什么样的情绪什么样的情绪
难道这就是爱情
啦啦啦啦...

让人又哭又笑抓摸不定
让人飞翔让人坠落谷底
喔难道这就是爱情

坐在巷口的那对男女
笑声从来没停
老师叫你上台介绍自己
也没见你那么充满自信
是什么样的勇气什么样的勇气
我想这就是爱情
啦啦啦啦...

Poor Things


we've been out for some nice meals recently despite the bad throat i've been suffering from for the past 3 - 4 weeks.


and yes, in the picture on the left is my handy flask of sinseh-prescribed medicine whenever we're out.






for having to take that bitter dosage daily, poor me.
for having to carry my cutesy thermal flask wherever we go, poor NeuNeu.




on Thursday...

look what he made for me!


.. a collage of our pix

Foolhardiness

one step closer to completion albeit the ugly acts coupled with foolish words.
totally upset my plans for a perfect Friday.

Topsy Turvy Me

what's gotta into me?
i must have been really mad to have done that...

oh baby, u just turn my thinking upside-down n inside-out,
my head's all topsy-turvy now!



what else can i do to make me feel better?

August 15, 2007

Perplexity

as the night slowly unfolds
sadness finds its way unto me

i can't tell what it is for sure either

perhaps i still can't believe everything
all that goodness happening to me recently
would it be abiding or could it just be transient

feel miserable when the going gets tough &
feel miserable when everything is smooth-sailing
ah, i'm a confused individual with a perplexity on happiness

Do not dive onto the tracks. Fine SGD10, 000.

as i was on my way to Holland V for a well-deserved dinner treat for myself & also to support the Nat'l Day promo, the MRT service at Tampines was disrupted.

yeah, u've guessed it. another
accident.
oh well, not sure if it was an accident or suicide but it definitely disrupted my plans.
in the end, i had to make do with only a quick bite at MacDonald's n rush to work in a cab WITHOUT MY CAKE!

instead of thinking of ways to raise the fares, SMRT should really look into the safety of the MRT stations (especially Jurong East, Tampines n those that do not have any barriers).

suggestions include:
- building safety barriers
- use of creative signages that carry the horrific graphics of victims of railway accidents (just like the ciggarette packaging)
- warnings that read:
"Please, go die elsewhere."
or
"Do not dive into the tracks. Fine SGD10, 000."


do something about it since u're so SMaRT.
if the disruptions go on n i get sacked for punctuality problems, i could be the next one "jumping" along the trend.


now i gotta find another day to get me the cake. sigh.

cakin'

secret recipe is having a national promotion from 6th - 10th August
42% off whole cake purchase

the sinful Chocolate Banana & White Chocolate Macadamia cakes that me n Iris used to indulge in before/during/after work at Suntec. it's on promo now.

should i break that detox plan currently underway?
thanks to the helpful informant, Alvin, my long-lost secondary school tuition friend, i'm in a dilemma.
we're making plans to grab the cake before it's gone when we knock off in the morning.
yes, we are typical yaogui Singaporeans in pretext of patriotism by supporting the local National Day promotion.

the nearest one opens only at 10am. but i need to sleep after my 14 hours at work.


oh, i forgot to mention about Alvin. all that gluttony. tsk.
bumped into Alvin last week at work without realizing it was him until he sent me a message on friendster. it's been like 7 - 8 years since we last saw each other. the office was the last place i ever thought i would bump into my friends, but yeah, i did.

rewind

a sudden urge to check back on my entries from almost a year ago,
back to 3 quarters of a year ago.


i realize how i've gotten complacent over these months,
i realize how i've started to take people & things for granted,

i do realize.
but is it too late to realize,
becoz i'm only realizing it now...


thanks, baby.
the macaroni's still yummy.
the day was a torture, but it's all over.

Tattoos

Last week, a Yahoo! listed the Top 20 tattoo motifs inked in the world.
Luckily mine (phoenix) is not one of the Top 20. I seriously don't want to be spotted with the identical/similar tattoo as another.

Well well, here's the result:


In the top spot, the delicate butterfly symbolizes metamorphosis, so it's no surprise that deep thinkers flock to this tattoo to represent their changing moods. Following the wings of the butterfly are 19 other critters emblazoned on arms, backs, and legs all over the world...

1. Butterfly Tattoos
2. Dragonfly Tattoos
3. Koi Fish Tattoos
4. Scorpion Tattoos
5. Tiger Tattoos
6. Dolphin Tattoos
7. Lion Tattoos
8. Dove Tattoos
9. Sparrow Tattoos
10. Eagle Tattoos
11. Ladybug Tattoos
12. Frog Tattoos
13. Wolf Tattoos
