It's tiring managing 2 blogs. so i'm going to let this one go.

to respect dedicated readers of this blog, i'll probably leave the link here for a while:

LOL

I feel rather lethargic today, ironically, cuz last night was the longest i've been in bed. Nothing much happened, except for the trip down to JNTO, then to Janet cuzzie's house to borrow some guides and then lose my hp thereafter, most probably at the bus stop i think. oh yah, met joy at vivo too. hah. couldn't recognise her in that HC uni. she looked rounder this time, perhaps due to the stress induced crave for tidbits. but today's the last day for s papers right?... yah should be la.. then darren should be fighting for the com right this instant. lol.

can i possibly have got the wrong person? it seems highly unlikely. then, i don't know.

Visited ah ma for the first time in months and realised, as people age, it seems that one's difference incurred with time becomes less significant.

Everybody says I lost weight.. hah. I don’t think so? Those flabs are still there.. doesn’t seem like it’s lost even an ounce. But it’s like, whenever some adult who hasn’t seen you for long, they’ll tend to make a fuss about some change in you, whether those remarks are true or not. Dont' they?

Came across an article on tweens. Also recall, another article talking about the growing young-at-heart phenomenon... why everybody wants to be teens!? Privacy intrusion. copycats. Again justifying the power of the media and market forces. Of course i wish something can be done, at least to save those 'overly exposed' kids but, exceeded bandwidth? It's interesting to watch on. Seeing what happens next.

One thing, japan is making me go bonkers. In an attempt to make things efficient, somehow ironically they turn out to be making things really inconvenient for us gaijin. This is giving me so much trouble, trying to sort out the best deal in the mess. As if that's not enough, a privilege has turned into any planner's nightmare too. Looks like i have to make a trip down to JNTO again tomorrow, and plausibly to JTB as well. Wah.. sian. Seriously, I don't know if I'm still looking forward to this trip. I really hope my efforts and our anticipation will pay off at the end.

Went to vivocity this evening for dinner and realised i'm not cut for shopping. at all. shopping kills! okies...

"I anticipate with great earnest for a positive reply from the management." I pray they come quickly!! meanwhile gotta search for more liao...

Woot! finally i got to exercise in like 3 months..? Almost died of flabby muscles. like really, i felt so sick meditating in the dungeon for so long. So shiok swimming with bin today. accomplsihed 20 laps n i've gotten darker.. gleeeee.

Popped by JNTO after that at hong leong building. Hah.. To think I've all along thought it as hock leong building.. lol. almost went the wrong place mann. Anyways.. the office is so stingily small, my god! But okie la at least it's that much more resourceful. Bleah.. got to restructure the itinerary now. Basically I'd cooped myself there in the deafening silence for 4 hours (woww) trying to do up a clever plan but in vain.. like banging against a wall that won't fall. The call from Janet Jie Jie.. only more guides to come to feed my everlasting hunger for japan. Okies let's start learning jap! It's only two weeks from now...

It has to be one of the kewlest days of my life, hanging out alone downtown. It felt really good.. i mean really. So after getting chased out of JNTO (cuz it closes at 5), i was literally wandering around aimlessly. Then the tidal waves swept me over to VCH where i collected some brochures n had dinner at esplanade thereafter. Dining by the bay is such a privilege.

Journey back to mrt station was a rush.. cuz i'm late for a meeting! Yep had to meet my group leaders.. and richard. The meeting wasn't too bad though, at least I earned myself a free cup of Starbucks caffellatte=D But seriously, it's far better this time round. Yayness. Final brieing this sat.

If only you can join me at Winter Romance, if only my dream could be true.

All of a sudden I had this urge of doing a grey painting. like literally. a canvas, some black and white mixes.. i can really picture myself painting something. ain't trying to be poetic here i swear.. though to a certain extent i am. but it is purely coincidental rite.

... cut the crap there. ur not that artsy.

An event today that's making me ask.. "why?" again.

An old hag was teasing a boi boi on the train:
Old hag: 你是什么人？
boi boi: 我是新加坡人!
old hag: 不是啦, 你是华人!

that's no wonder the minority complex doesn't go away... and all our efforts in trying to protect our racial cohesion-- like it's not a facade.

Was slightly late for the luncheon...=X It's kinda strange. It is damn unusual that I'm already 10 mins late cos meetings never start on time. Hah. Anyway.. there seems to be a communal problem among the yecs.. decreasing manpower. oh no! But not to worry I guess. I believe it's only a transition period bah. Things will work out right de. And it feels really good to know a mentor's always there for you.

That aside, backpacking next year seems confirmed. Hah! Just.. don't know where to go yet.

... the private journal really allows me to discover myself. like magic. yea discovery that does no follow up to seek solutions.
