wmp: nicole scherzinger, baby love

last monday i left my beloved water bottle behind at the office. and then, it was a week before i saw it again today.

the past week had been swell...

tues to thurs - the smc gathering
i arrived at the nsrcc in the evening after an hours train trip to tanah merah. they were getting ready for the bbq while it drizzled. things got started with the one dollar auction. i had my eye on the ambitious ombinus by daryl but so did another guy. and then uncle bob took the night away with his cups and balls, shell game and three card monte. i nearly squeaked out loud when he was doing a card trick and went "i know your card is a black card and it is the number eight, so..."(or smth close to those lines) and a black no.8 pool ball fell from up his nose!

decks and decks of cards were lieing all over close up pads on the tables(i wonder what the treasure hunting kids who came over that night asking for a green plastic bag thought of the sight). we had some sharing sessions. and then poker, blackjack, and vodka in the late nights with all the cheating with cards. and then came the second night when enrico came. he is probably the best at what he does man. from ropes to coins and cards. i enjoyed his performances and sharing thoroughly and look forward to seeing him again.

thursday evening i met up with jj at botak jones at clementi on my way back from the chalet for dinner...

i think i transformed from something of a muggle to a more enlightened being after those two whole days of nothing but cards...

friday - my 20th birthday
people from the cmrc came over. for half the day we played football, tennis, basketball and then water frisbee. charades and pictionary were hilarious la. eventually the bbq got started and the candles blown with the knife down on the cake. and then somewhere after the group photo i felt an evil consensus to dump me in the pool. i thought what the heck i'd just give some kind of a struggle and then just let them do what they must. it's been a long time since i was thrown into the pool.

we had hell of a good time.





i'd like to thank everybody for the birthday wishes be it belated anot. being the fuckin sentimental guy i am, your smses will probably follow me through the year.

saturday
i woke up from the aftermath of the day before with a sore back, legs and right forearm(from the tennis i guess) and lazed around the entire day.

sunday - the beach
i was pretty worn out by the week.

it had been awhile since we headed to the beach. always great to meet up with the usual bunch! i wished i didn't have to go to work the next day. in the evening breeze i wished i had a beer with me.

we had dinner at the superdog and started lookin' intensely at coins and 2 dollar notes before calling it a night.

monday - sick leave
i woke up to the alarm and decided to call in sick. in the evening relatives came over for yet ANOTHER bbq. that's the third one in a week!

tuesday - today
things were the same in the office - andrew sleeping, samuel sleeping, bryan on the psp, if not whining about how i always look like i'm gonna die, jake sleeping, if not eating, and i'd be walking around with a card trick. wahaha.

jj mentioned that beowulf was just okay. i thought about it for a while and kinda agreed. i guess i tend to get too excited about a movie and then hype it up too much so if i say it's 'fuckin awesome', chances are, it's just okay

i was reunited with my water bottle.

off to the nsrcc.

let it be good.

wmp: the click five, empty

beowulf. t'was a fuckin good film i caught with shawn but at the end of the night, while hoping so hard that the strip of white paper under the windshield wiper was perhaps a useless spaming ad or something else, i wished i wasn't so stingy with the coupon.

damn it, i wish i had taken the bus...

i wish more good things could happen to me.

my routines have pretty much been upset lately. that usually happens when i don't have to go to work the next day. i would stay up late for no reason.

it was another sunday night that the three of us slept over at felix's place. i wished aston villa would've just let the remaining three minutes left on the clock run out and portsmouth, i don't know what else to say man. luck, or the sheer lack of it, is a hard thing to explain.

i should do myself a favour and retire from this recent indulgence for as long as i can.

marvel/dc: after hours #7 is finally out, haha.

9am and a storm is on its way. goodie.

night.

i guess it took some effort on everybody's part to make it to felix's place last saturday evening. we watched football. and then set of to play football ourselves. it reminded me of old times yet didn't exactly feel like it. its a pity the soccer court was no longer there due to renovation works. we could have had a more continuous pace of games. and perhaps i wouldn't have stepped into the fuckin' drain, scratching my leg and making that sprain on the right ankle which i only felt during one of our last 2 on 2 match.

at 3am, there were only felix sj and i in the living room watching the football highlights while having small chats inbetween. based on hearsay, we painted a picture the very near future - the ord and beyond. what i can't shake off my mind is the goal middlesbrough made against tottenham.

came monday. i didn't need to wake up early. i remember gallivanting around bugis when i returned a miss call and was told that i had been 'activated' for the next day. it wasn't the best of news and i decided to head back home and just lie down with what's left of the day. i bought an 8" manikin from art friend along the way. God knows why.

i spent straight hours, except of those of lunch and dinner which barely made up one anyway, seated, looking into the monitor, typing and clickin', clickin' and typin'. it was nearing 10pm when i left the camp. i had thought the worst was over.

somehow i'm convinced that i'm just some sort of tragic walking dartboard 'cause as soon as i got back the next day, i was sent back to the monitor, typin' and clickin', clickin' and typin', with everyone else frolicking behind.

i had thought the workload, when plotted on a graph, produces a pleasing curve of negative gradient that eventually hits the zero axis when t=ord. whatever fuckin happened to that man?

i had dinner with jj at je before turning down a night with the go5 and headed home for a 13 hour straight sleep made of dreams mainly. i'm just fuckin' relieved that the long long weekend is here(till monday i'm on fuckin leave. isn't that fuckin awesome?)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i finsihed watching all 32 episodes of naruto shippuuden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got my hands on angel and airwave's "i-empire"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

i will ORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wmp: filter, take a picture

the plan was to wake up at 0330, drive down to jj's place and watch some football but at 0330 when the alarm rang i told myself 5 minutes more and opened my eyes only some 6 hours later.

i slept through most of the day. i watched lotsa tv including the transformers movie dvd which made me remember why i liked it so much the first time(no, it wasn't just megan fox).

and then somewhere in the evening i tried prising open the wired remote control of my i-trigue speakers to give it a clean after doing a search on the net and coming across this page; the volume fluctuates the wrong way when i turn the knob and it gets frustrating sometimes that i have to give it a couple of knocks 'cause "thats how things work in the army", i remember pradeep saying. haha. eventually i realised i wasn't suppose to prise it open. and it was so much more complicated than it had looked from the outside that i closed it right back without doing anything. what a waste of time.

i thought i had this nailed. its "mind boggling".

i shall have to leave that to another day.

hahahah...
