Zombified
Weekends are good when there is lots of time to sleep, sleep and get more sleep. So totally not the last one.
Hung out with my Camby-mates aka Donuts and unBimbo (+Fiance) till too late on Friday, forgetting about the event I had to attend the next morning (and I had to give a talk). Saturday 'ended' with dinner by the river and the oh-so-juvenile Zouk. It did not end until 5am on Sunday and then Sunday started at 8.30am. Can you imagine how grateful I was when I finally found a seat on the bus to sleep, on my way home from Vivocity in the evening?
I don't like being zombified. But then again, I had a great time catching up with many people. Sleep or friends? Sleep? Friends? Sleep? This is really a tough one.
SIFF has started once again and I know like the many previous years, I am going to be lazy and will procrastinate till the whole thing is over and not watch a s.i.n.g.l.e film. Bah! I need to be more driven.
Anyway, some friends and I will be setting up a game stall for a fundraising event for the Assisi Hospice. If you would like to contribute some new and unused items (or cash) which we can give out as prizes, do let me know. The funfair will be held in the middle of May, I think it's the Vesak day weekend. Alternatively, you might want to drop by and show your support. Right now, I need a basin so if you have one lying around at home and don't mind lending it to me, do give me a buzz.

The aging process..
I'm suffering from a terrible backache (ok, I am exaggerating but the bleddy nagging pain just don't go away!) since this morning and I begining to wonder if I'm really aging THAT fast. Then I remembered I went to the gym after a long hiatus (like 1 month, that's S$70 paid for nothing by the way) and I decided that it must have been the gym session, which was 1/2 of the routine I did a month ago. No, I decided that age is not catching up, yet. Anyway, I told everyone I feel pregnant because I always assciate backache with pregnant women.
I wish I could give a different answer whenever people ask me how I am these days because the only thing I can tell them is that I'm busy. And I don't even have time to pee (this I am not exaggerating, and I am getting worried about my already-weak bladder). I'm not exactly sure if it's the expectations from people or is it the new system that is causing so much anxiety. I certainly did not feel this way when I was doing similar things as a noob last year. I better stop before I start to sound like I am whining, something which I have no right to, since I literally asked for this shit anyway.
Speaking about whining, why do people not know when they should stop? Why bother speaking 5 precious minutes whining and moaning before doing the work, which has to completed anyway, whether you whined or not? I simply don't get it and it annoys me to no end when people do that before e.v.e.r.y s.i.n.g.l.e task. The world does not revolve around one person and you know, we all have our own burdens to bear. Some times I wish I could just switch off the surrounding noise with a remote control. I think I should not be so judgemental, everyone has a right to express their emotions. I must not impose my own masochistic values on others. Bah!
I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow and getting pricked and all. Lately, the nurses have not been very lucky with my veins and this translates to me bearing all of the consequences of this not-so-lucky affair. It's getting more and more stressful each time 'cos it's hard to tell how many attempts must be made before the mission is accomplished.
I have't got time to visit the library lately and coincidentally, there was this stall selling 2nd hand books at the 'Shopping Centre' the other day. I bought 3 books at a mere $5. Isn't it cool? I found 'Father Frank' (which I did not by since I read it and don't think I will read it again) and 2 travelogues on Tuscany and Indochine. Currently I am reading one of my favourite author's book. I *heart* Sue Townsend. Will you marry me?? Anyway I hope the stall will come back soon with more good books.
I've found a new shop at Lot 1 and have been patronising it for 3 weekends in a row, making myself over a hundred bucks poorer within a month. I first found the shop at Novena, but since I was abstaining from shopping during the Lenten period, I did not allow myself to strike. And then all hell broke loose. hur hur hur. Anyway, it's quite amazing because there isn't really much to buy from the place. I think I am just quite hopeless when it comes to shopping.
I promised Un-Bimbo's fiance (though it is not official but I figure they are getting married anyway and so he is her fiance. I like the word, it sounds so.. adult--y, not adultry by the way) that I will burn him a CD with all my Cheer Chen songspirated obtained from different sources only to find that puter broke down recently and 3/4 of my repository had been wiped out then. Cockanaden. And I even made him call me 美女 for that. I'm sure he is going to resume calling me Auntie tomorrow. Nabeh. I so asked for it.
Oh well, I guess it's about time. My back is killing me and I better go and lie down before I die a premature death. I guess by now you can see how incoherent this entry is, which basically sums up my mental capacity now.
It's 4 more months to our you-tubing days.

Destination Next
The first round of nightmare (Version.1) is over and I am simply sitting around anticipating nightmare Version.1.1 (spinoff from nightmare and nightmare Version.2 to come. So it's pretty chill now and I have time to surf around for my next holiday destination. We've decided to rough it out once again. Sounds promising. I like.

Shiokness is...
having the luxury of sleeping more than 8 hours a day for 2 consecutive (going 3) nights.. Wouldn't it be nice if all weekends are like this?

| My declaration of Love |
| I need to know how to feel without you.. I need to find myself, to give you the space you need, to move in a different direction from yours.. I want to know how life can go on without you.. I want to embrace joy, indulge in love, to enjoy every drop of sunshine that falls on me.. I will conquer my fear of living in a world without you.. I will live my life as though I had never met you... |
