despite having to trek for a good 20mins to the stadium, and missing the 1st half, i mus say, i finally sorta understand the fuss abt soccer.
red carpet lined with cisco guards, macham like for some grand entrance of some VIP football. except tat this.. was the great divide btwn the fans of both sides.
no red carpet, so use human cisco wall instead. even grandstand also dun have so many congregated in the same place lor..
we won! yay! woohoo! yeah! heng lor! and then it started to rain. pour. storm. buckets. torrents. eck.
now will someone pls explain to me the meaning of 'offside' without sending me the link to wikipedia? heheh
few separate incidents, all inexplicably linked by twists of fate, much like a well constructed mystery novel.
thankfully it was topped off by laughs, manicures on the floor, (extremely nice) wedding shots and errr soft toys. and a whole boxful of donuts from the donut factory (wah siao the queue so long..wait for the hype to be over la..and thanks!). Also the endless choices of routes to go home by.
lesson learnt tonight is that all roads lead home, no matter how u turn, deviate, swerve and collect summons along the way.
one other thing: intuition can be quite a scary thing.
well, my dear friend, u've proven to be right more than once this weekend. now if i'd jus start listening to you.
went to watch the superstar preview at caldecott hill. never quite felt as old as i did sitting amongst screaming teens. and these weren't even real superstars!
but ok la, quite interesting to sit in a live recording thing. pt here is: make up DOES wonders. amazing.
its been quite a crazy week what with hanging out, work, various activities, am really looking forward to the 1st monday where the blues wont strike. figured i shld put the bonus to good use =0)
it hasnt been a very smooth start to the year, it seems like i'm merely on the mildly bubbling surface of a cauldron.
i find it hard to differentiate btwn this yr and last. just a continuation of a long-drawn-out story, my story.
forgive me if i havent been the best of company. excuse my lack of tolerance at certain things. pardon snappy and grouchy, 2 good friends who always happen to be in the vicinity.
i cant exactly articulate why this feels like a difficult phase.
some have left, some are going, some will stay, some will arrive. take care, miss you already, see you later, hey nice to meet you.
herein the dilemma conflicts. and there lies the struggle within.
what day is it and in what month this clock never seemed so alive I can't keep up and I can't back down I've been losing so much time
cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do nothing to lose and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
all of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right I'm tripping inwards you got my head spinning I don't know where to go from here
cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do nothing to prove and it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you
there's something about you now I can't quite figure out everything she does is beautiful everything she does is right
Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me Oh things are gonna happen naturally Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side And balancing the whole thing But often times those words get tangled up in lines And the bright lights turn to night Until the dawn it brings Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me
Cause you and I both loved What you and I spoke of And others just read of Others only read of the love, the love that I love.
See I'm all about them words Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive
You and I, you and I Not so little you and I anymore And with this silence brings a moral story More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy
Cause you and I both loved What you and I spoke of And others just dream of And if you could see me now Well I'm almost finally out of I'm finally out of Finally Well I'm almost finally, finally Well I'm free, oh, I'm free
And it's okay if you have go away Oh just remember the telephone works both ways And if I never ever hear them ring If nothing else I'll think the bells inside Have finally found you someone else and that's okay Cause I'll remember everything you sang
Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of and others just read of and if you could see now well I'm almost finally out of. I'm finally out of, finally well I'm almost finally, finally, finally out of words.
while i looked out of the window, dismayed at the downpour, i decided to walk to work.
haha.
what caused the walk was, as usual, something someone said. nice things, but also makes things more difficult. makes the decision harder. makes leaving harder.
so armed with matching umbrella and skirt and slippers, off i stomped thru puddles and over fallen twigs & branches.
didnt quite like the scratchy feeling of the sand particles, nor did i take too kindly to crazy drivers who insisted on going thru flooded patches at killer speed.
didnt quite walk the whole way to work too. cos, at the leisurely pace i was at, i'd have been late for work.
but i think i really like walking in the rain. i like walking right into puddles and splashing all the water at everyone else. funnily, more ppl seem to wear yellow on a rainy day.
and yes, in response to yiyi, i have weird hobbies.
finally, a tongue twister to end this off. Try saying 'otorhinolarynology' now. fast. 3 times in a row. ok make that 2. eheh.
one scene i remeber the clearest is being by some river side, during evening time, and seeing 3 rainbows appear together next to each other.
wanted to take a photo of it, but by the time the camera was ready, the rainbows had started to fade.
after tat, they appeared again. but so faint, they were jus a shadow of their former selves (?).
its a sign.
i need a new camera.
=0)
tried tennis out yest. its damn hard! plus the courts are so huge. so unfortunate i dont like to run. yes la i know i'm lazy la. but i really would rather dance. its less boring!
i still am irritated tho. while i really dont mind exercising more every week, i cant! cos my knee cant take it! bah. stupid knee. jus my luck.
sigh. bored. and going mad at work. so in blo(d)ging, i seek solace.
twisty step designed to make u trip and fall. also good for reducing waist line.
Round 1: Ade & Joce
Round 2: me & joce. i know i salas already la. whole leg supposed to be leaning against joce's. but i is scared ma.
eh. its not easy ok. for one, sonsidering you're supposed to totally lean against ur partner, there's the perpetual FEAR tat u're too heavy and ur partner will fall. as u can tell, i was ABOUT to lose balance.
but today's lesson wasnt all tat bad. in fact, i had great fun! wasnt as hard as i remembered it to be, and i could actually remember all the steps. oh. but they had a stupid move. a cross between an egyptian move and a chicken cluck. go figure.
but still. i really had fun. 2 of my partners were quite funny. one, who kept asking me to dance with him, was described by someone as 'i thot he was handicapped leh!'. the other more beng one also quite funny la.
its annoying how u get derailed so often from your actual jobscope.
firefighting, answering silly questions, the usual office hum drum.
i need time to do wat i was hired for.
sounds so stupid right? i mean, i work hard all day and night. only to find out i haven't really been doing my job. i've been working, but no idea on wat.
point is, at the end of the day, i'd have accomplished all of nothing.
i miss the start of a school year. the packing of a new school bag, the nice clean textbooks, getting to know the classmates, catching up after the hols, making sure all the nailpolish and earrings are off, rushing to copy holiday homework, etc etc.
at least u sorta get a sense of a new year, a new start.
first to val's..apparently they started drinking at 6pm.. poopy was mad as usual.
then to monty's..
note to self: skip the bar food. the indian restaurant next door looks better, food also smells more appetising! managed to catch the fireworks..watever spilled out of fullerton. still quite nice la. plus we were by the river. really quite nice to hang and chill out there.
then!! i really started off the new yr with a big bang lor..on my head..bumped into a low ceiling.. !@#$%^
after that..checkers. cos the bar food we had was super duper unsatisfying! i've been upgraded to status of 'regular customer'. and in return, i get waffles even if its not on the xmas menu. woohoo!
next few days were jus spent pigging out. diet? wat diet? *innocent look*
1) rainbow! i noe its damn faint la but i can see it ok..its a good omen.. 2) my cousin serving us food leh!!! grow up liao!! and..check out the plants we got as part of our meal. kailan stuck in ice. how..er..botanical. if i'm not mistaken, it was kailan sashimi, complete with soy sauce n wasabi 3) crabs! blog abt it later. then a whole series of movies. even got projector and white (curtain) screen ok! go watch death note. very nice! 4) tj's back!!!! jus check out him eating kaya toast lor.. sick? wat sickness? looks fine to me wat!! ehehehehe! still, was really good to see everyone together again!
