Another Afternoon

 

it's 4:18pm. and i'm sort of stuck in my room *again*. decided to pack up the whole room, not knowing when SOMEBODY will return the key to the room and have weijie move over to join me.

yea, i'm gonna have a roommate.

anyway, i'm sort of slacking now cos my headache is getting to me. dumped quite a bit of clothes in the washing machine, waiting to finish washing. finished organizing and filing AND PACKING AWAY this semester's notes. was tempted to leave some of them unpacked since i know i may need them in future sems to come, but heck, store them away first. don't want them lying around the holidays to remind me of sch work.

after the rest, shall:
1. collect clothes from washing machine.
2. dump MORE clothes into the washing machine (yes, i have THAT MUCH unwashed clothes).
3. organize my activities' stuff.
4. re-organize my shelves.
5. pack my food/fridge corner.
6. put back the chairs from my room to recreation room (damn heavy sia~).
7. sweep and mop room.
8. (opt) reposition the bed. i never like the current position. waste quite a bit of space.
9. (opt) decorate my board. never got down to it. my board is so messy till i cant find stuff i pin up there.
10. must start my scheduling for this holidays.

okay, things to do this holdays:
1. ISG
2. Planning for CS Homecoming
3. Hall Prod rehearsals
4. finish arranging the two songs i have on hand.
5. finish arranging songs for hall production
6. start work on Kaili's FYP music.
7. (opt) redesign of my blog.
8. (opt) go malaysia at least once.

mmm... interestingly, shopping is NOT on my list. damn.

just received a call from mum saying she'll come over to pass me some food and drink. i wanted to go "woopee" but, sianz...

See what I meant when I said Singapore is policy-driven and other countries is economically-driven?

 

Heck, I'm just try to grab ur attention when i use those two terms. I'm not an economics student, never was and most prob never will. (most prob only la, who knows if i will take it next sem.)

anyway, remember in my taiwan article when i said taiwan is a very economically-driven place? much of what it is is decided by its people to attract foreigners, not because the "gahmen" wants them to have things this way.

and to add on to my argument, the gahmen has successfully come up with yet another weird plan.

GLOWING REVIEW: The Bras Basah-Bugis area will become a round-the-clock entertainment zone, with creative neon signs and advertising panels, while the Singapore River will glow quietly with jelly-fish lights in the stretch opposite Boat Quay (next). -- -- URBAN REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY


How come I seldom hear about such policies from other countries? sheesh... hate all these government efforts, like the people itself dun hav creativity like that... gah~ ok how about lighting up GEYLANG region? ;)

tho, i am looking forward to the new litted bugis. *ops* argh! hypocrisy at work!!

Let me just blabber...

 

Today woke up at 2pm, well, becos i slept only at 7am this morning. was studying thru the night with YH at west coast, came home at 5am, but couldnt sleep, so was lying on the bed watching my "Cars" dvd (original... juz bought). watched finished, decided that I should be sleeping, so took some panadol-aka-my-sleep-inducers.

somehow i woke up with the heart-beat rhythm at a very fast pace, something I have yet to experience in a very long time. I think the most significant time that I felt this way was after my jc2 Huang Cheng days, when I had withdrawal symptoms. I don't know why I'm feeling this way today.

i couldnt stay at home, since the only kind of face i have is a grumpy one. i didn't have the energy to even smile. went down to starbucks, ordered a iced caffe latte, grabbed an I-S mag and sat down at the smoking tables, finished reading, and just sat there stoning. saw a few ppl at the neighbouring tables smoking, in the end did the same myself too.

i had with me my cs229 stuff, hoping to get the stoning thing out of the way and get started with the studying. in my mp3 player, i'm blasting some cheery music from the soundtrack of "Flushed Away". no, it didn't help. in the end, i walked back home and here I am, sitting on my bed and facing my computer with utterly no energy to DRAW energy to study.

i feel wasted, i feel like shit. and all i want is to find someone to talk to, but i know everyone's studying and i'm sure i don't want to bother any of them.

the only thing i wanna do now is to go to a secluded beach and scream out "fuck".

A Song

 

Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....

There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy

Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy

Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy

----------------------------------------------------

The most depressing irony is that the original singer, Bobby McFerrin, is rumoured to have committed suicide. Great.

Why I have to bring this up? I don't know... perhaps it's because of hearing this song in "Flushed Away" bah, which they used it in a tastefully ironical way. But after I downloaded the soundtrack and listened to the song again, i remembered that this song never made me happy, and i remembered why, becos a certain guy surnamed Seow told me this information.

Mr Procrastinating-Johnson is back...

 

Gosh... my first (two) papers are on thursday, and here i am lazing around online. Mr Procrastinating-Johnson is back, full-powered with avengence!!

i don't know what caused this, and i would really like to blame the 2300+ words drama essay I completed last night. I'm damn happy, kay? it's 2300+ words on two of my favourite theatre practitioners (for now) and I had so much material that I almost started to 抓狂 when I tried to move from one article to another and couldn't find it. And when I completed, I felt DAMN satisfied with myself. Charlene (my drama lecturer) wanted us to email her the completed work, so it saved me the trouble of printing it, but I had the urge all night (and until now) to print it out, frame it, and put the paper on my board.

gosh... am I sounding a bit too weird and nerdy? gah~~ that's the problem when you completed something you're not accustommed to do, especially through this semester where there are practically no term papers, no reports, just all technically based assignments that had me carry camera equipment almost every where i go in the second hand of the semester (and hurting myself in the process).

anyway, now that i'm lazing around online, i was damn shocked about how much I missed out! actually i missed out on a WHOLE LOT of things, not only in the online scene. Huh? What WSM effect? Huh? Tiger beer has released its second episode advertisement? What? Already third? OMG, project superstar is already airing? What? HuH? HUHHHH!???!

the only comfort i find is knowing survivor: cook island is showing in Singapore, and no, i had yet to watch a single episode. already not a fan of it.

i don't even watch TV anymore... weirdly, esp since i'm a comm studies student now and deciding to go to the EBM. the only aspect of EBM that still concerns me is movies (i don't even listen to radio).

this is damn bad.

anyway, if u're looking for my comments to WSM, sorry, i've got no comments. not that I agree, nor do i disagree with the whole event, it's just that I find singapore is such a small place that things and events do get the hype easily. so watch your words people! i'm watching mine for now... but honestly, i'm more interested... *erhmm* concerned about the situation in Taiwan.

WAIT... shit... bloody hell, i make myself sound like a bloody heck-care person. I got my own opinions about this event la, but people who know me will know i have things to talk about for both sides. so, well, i shant say it here.

damn it... i've just wasted another 15mins just writing abt things that SHOULD NOT concern me at this moment of time. OH MY GOD! let me hug ur legs....

My children are online!

 

No no... I'm not married and i'm not having a shot-gun marriage. But if u wanna listen to my children (self-composed songs), do head down to...



The website will ask u to register and install the program. Don't worry, it's not a virus program. If ur computer crash, well, juz ask me to treat u to a drink or something la.

The songs available for download are the songs I wrote during my army days, where my angst and everything are at the highest level. haha~ my favourite (yes, as a parent, i'm oso biased) is Rain (雨). Do give it a listen kay? If you decide you don't like it, come back here and flood my blog with ur comments. haha~

alrighty ppl. I'm off to study since the shooting i'm involved in was cancelled due to the heavy downpour. good luck to all for exams and whatever you're doing!!

你擔心一個人,但那個人卻刻意為了不讓你擔心而裝作若無其事時,你是否更加擔心?
我不知道…

現在我唯一能做的,就是向老天爺祈求一切會順利,而默默地倒數著…
