Injured.

Today i am injury prone. I tripped and fell while playing soccer and bruised every joints in my body. Because i rolled for quite a distance. Then i got elbowed by my friend in the face/lips during basketball and my upper lip is cut and slightly swollen. And all these happened in less than 1hr's time. Maybe it was wise that i returned to the safety of my bunk after my second injury. Then again, i nearly scald myself while making maggie. Today must have been a bad day.

bad things aside, i did something i enjoyable today. I traded my psp for my friends' guitar! He enjoy playing djmax, and he's helping me clear the noob stages of djmax3. Win-win for me =D it took me awhile to regain my 'touch' on the guitar(not that i have any to start with). Acoustic hurts lah but my friends' guitar produces good quality sound(: plucked/strummed 'better man' for my buddy after he returned from basketball. Can tell he's pleasantly surprised hah! I may be noob but at least it sounded intact! Yeah! =D

'superman' for my same font! Soon soon gimme some time to learn(:

Stay. Pls.

As i typed this, my buddy's busy packing his stuff and doing his usual, stupid yet funny dance. I havent start packing my stuff yet. Procrastinating. I want things to stay this way. I want to continue having late night talks with my buddy about our weekend encounters, dancing to dance tracks on my psp, singing out loud and off tune and doing lousy harmonies for each other to songs played on his NDS, waking up late and rushing to fall in tgt, etc. Every bit of things i do with my buddy, i want it to stay.

this is one plusplusplus point abt SAF. If u're lucky, like me, u'll get a superduperwonderful buddy and u will wish ur course will not end. But the course will end, and my buddy and i are going to different paths after this. Meaning to say, similar to my past buddies, i'll most likely not see them again. What a saddening thought to entertain. I love my current buddy lah(note: im NOT gay). And my neighbours. No matter how fucked up this place im in is, it's the people around me that makes me want to stay. And it aint the same anymore after this week.

yeah, it's time to move on. Suck thumb and suck it up, like we always say. Im not one who love changes, nor one who willl welcome them with open arms. Boo.

3weeks to commissioning. Am i ready? Probably not.

Hidden.

E is for EMO. yep it is, on a saturday afternoon. my room has been so messy for such a long time, and since im sick, decided to make it neater. (note: make it neater, not make it neat. hah.)

and at the same time, i was searching for something that meant much to me. a little cute doggie keychain that i had since sec2. but it's gone =( i think i must have packed in into a wrong bag and threw it away last time. boo. i hope the other dog is still safely kept. yes, the dog came in a pair.

so while searching, i came by my bag of letters in a corner of my closet. picked up a few to read. reading them made me so emo-ish. from letters from chuwen to ann to luan to yisong to amkgang. and my mortEl! k lah mortEl dun read my blog one right oh wells..hope she's been doing fine though. As must be stressful and tough.

i was so foolish. i was so immature. and i was so dumb. arghh. i guessed this must have meant that i grew up, no? NS did changed me afterall. i wouldnt have done the same i did in the past now, will i? nah, dun think so.

i miss both s06-es. i miss the lively class, the stupid things we used to do, or things i didnt have a chance to do with them.

i miss amkgang. i miss the late nights H2H, the mahjong sessions, the studious and playful times.

i miss everyone so dear to me.

e is for emo, on a peaceful saturday afternoon.

Observe.

Observing people has been one of my favourite hobbies. Today i've decided to zibi at amkhub. Though they say recession is hitting us but it doesn't seem to affect the shoppers here in amkhub. It is still swarming with people.

i like to observe couples, married couples with kids especially. Sitting next to me right now is a couple with a cute little boy sleeping peacefully in the pram. I like the way they talk to each other - not too loud, not too demanding. Probably they didnt want to wake the kid, but there's something in the way they held each others' hands. A moment ago they seem so contented sitting there in silence, looking at their lovely child. Or perhaps, at the passerbys, just like me.

most of the time, amkhub is filled with young couples. A myriad of behaviours exhibited is what interest me. For example, there was this super clingy kind who dragged her bf into the shoe shop. I think too clingy not very nice lah but she's the sweet sweet cute cute type. Her bf quite lucky lor, in my opinion. Cos i wouldnt mind a gf like her. Hah.

when i look at couples i like to look at the way they hold hands and walk. People say the guy should lead, no? But i observed more girls leading then guys do. And it seems like couples in amk dun really like to lock their fingers! Too restrictive probably? Afterall, girls want to shop and they have this tendency to suddenly break away so they can flip through the clothes rack or pick up a heel. Hah. Then there are girls who hold their bf by their forearm. Do u know that different preferences of holding hands reflects different personality and mindset in a r/s? Go figure.

and it's almost time to meet the rest for movie. Quantum of solace! Yay(: i dont like to sound emo-ish, but i wish for more time alone. Sometimes i only want to see that few people, but they are nvr available. I aint a priority afterall. Hah.

well, my day didn't go as nicely as i thought it would be. but what to do? things crop up and we can only curse our own luck. on the other hand, at least i went running. i had always liked running, just dun always have the time to do so.

with my mp3 on, im cut off from the world around me, listening and focusing on my own breathing and my running form. focusing to clock that timing i gave myself, moving those stiffened muscles. nothing else i do makes me more aware of my own body's condition. nothing else i do takes my mind off the daily thoughts that stings. focus on running and running re-focuses. literally, 'running away from my troubles.'

and had a wonderful time dining with my parents. too bad my mum didnt cook, if not it will still be a perfect day nonetheless.

Finally, it's my turn to slack. Ytd was officially the last day of driving for me. For today i shall plat PSP whole day and book out later in the evening while the rest are still driving HAH!

and yes dean, i'll be joining u guys for soccer tmr morn! Like finally! Hahah. But i may be late cos want go see doc get medication first.

and im meeting luan for icecream later! The daily scoop sells good icecream so go have a cone when u're in the mood! (visit www.thedailyscoop.sg for more details)

today will be a great day. Yay(:

I got my driving license! Yay!

okay lah i got it yesterday noon. Lucky me got the nicer tester and he didnt fail me even though i nearly got into an accident. It was the other driver's fault, not mine, therefore i do not think i deserve to fail bwahaha.

no matter. I got my military license anyhow and went for island wide driving this morning. Like really island wide lah! I drove all around singapore on expressways, and the only one i didnt travel on was CTE. Nearly 4hrs of driving (with rest stops in between of course) made me so tired. Never knew driving was so tiring >.<

next step : get my civilian license asap. Whee!
