Happy New Year
ten seconds left
until midnight
nine chances to drown ourselves
in black hair dye
eight faces turned away
from the shock
seven windows and six of them
were locked
five stories falling
fourever and ever
three cheers to the mirror
now there are two of us
can we have one last dance?
World of Pain
Owwwww.
After months of procrastination, I finally went back to the gym with GJ last night. Trained till about 9+, and by the time I got home it was 11+. Beddy bye near 12. It's almost 5 now and my arms, they HURT. My back hurts. My chest hurts.
It hurts when I try to shampoo my hair. It hurts when I brush my teeth. It hurts when I put a shirt on. It hurts to type. It hurts to bring food to my mouth so I can eat. It hurts to sit. I'll bet it's gonna hurt when I go to work today and I have to answer all those phone calls. But you know what the worst part of all this is?
I kinda sorta like it.
Apologies to Leslie Kwok and whoever took the photo.
All packed up and no where to go.
GJ made plans months ago for a whole ging gang of us to celebrate Christmas on Sentosa together, even renting a car and all, but as the day drew closer it looked less and less likely that we were going to be able to proceed on them due to the heavens pissing on us for the past week or so.
True enough, a deluge drenched our little island again yesterday. Went out a little earlier to get Need for Speed: Carbon after I got a tip off from Soh(Thanks!)that a Collector's Edition copy was sighted at the Toa Payoh Comics Connection. Sky had a greyish pallor when I entered the shop, but it wasn't raining yet, but in the five minutes I took to locate the game and purchase it, the floodgates were cranked wide open. ^(^&*(()&^* weather.
Game's great fun though. Having a ball of a time with it.
To cut a long grandfudder story short, met up with them, made alternative plans, ended up walking around the City Hall area and watching Night at the Museum. Pretty funny movie, thought I have to add in a caveat that you gotta leave your brain at the door. I did, and it tickled me pink. I chortled numerous times and roared with laughter once or twice. Haven't many movies in the last coupla years that have made me laugh that loud. Go catch it if you can. :)
All in all not too bad, considering we made up most of the plan on the fly. Rounded up a fun day having dinner at Cuppage and cracking jokes in the car on the way home.
Thanks Lindsay, GJ and Xian for the Puma sneakers and the Pool jacket! Hope you guys take as much delight in your gifts as I do mine.
Don't got to go to work tomorrow. Woohoo!
And to finish up, I'd like to wish all, big and small, a very Merry Christmas!
Don², Happy Birthday!
YP-1U
Was reading the papers today when I saw an ad of a 512MB mp3 player retailing at $59 at Best Denki. First 20 customers only. Usual price $199. Figured it was a pretty good deal so went out a little earlier to get it.
It's a Samsung YP-1U. Haven't really used it yet, just filled it with my usual running (Read:noisy) tracks and charged it. Hopefully I'll get a chance to test it soon. Maybe tomorrow. Please don't rain tomorrow. My ass is getting huge.
Met up with Leslie and 369 after that. Had fun ribbing 369 with "ORD loh!" remarks and listening to him complain about contact tracing every weekend and a AAO recall with tech deployment yesterday(Weekend burnt! Song boh?!). Heh. My days of being a slave of the SAF are over. ORD loh!
I get to get off work earlier than usual tomorrow. Got arrowed to go to some cohesion thing at Marina. Pariss. I get to work at 0830, head off to Marina at 1100, and then home at 1500. Pretty good deal, but the downside is that GJ couldn't come with us. :(
Pwned.
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
All the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, there's only you and me.
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done.
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl, there's only you and me- 3 Doors Down
Here Without You
Cee One-Thirty Rolling Down The Stree-eeeeet
First jog since my old mp3 broke. Bleh. Fitness totally gone, as proven by the spare tyre swelling around my belly. Short run left me totally breathless. Useless.
It was made worse by the fact that I didn't have rap or metal blasting in my ear, driving me forward. There's no way I'm gonna run with the iPod. If it rains or sweat seeps inside the casing I'm gonna cry. Sang army cadence songs in my head the whole time, but the effect isn't the same.
First thing I'm gonna get when I get my new pay is a mp3 I can run with.
Blah Blah Blah
Sorry for not updating. I just didn't know what to say. Believe it or not, this is the fourth time in as many days that I've sat here infront of the screen, trying to think of something to post.
New job's pretty good, except for one or two assholes who call in and DEMAND to be served because they're perm staff and I'm just contract. ************.
Colleagues are pretty good. And with GJ around I can never have a quiet moment, which is good... sometimes. Other times he's just a pain in the ass. :P
Can't wait till the end of the month and I can get me money. I'm getting broke already because of Christmas. %^%&%**(%&%^$*%.
Butchered hair
Got back in time to watch the Pool match last night, and took a shower after it ended. I was super shack, hair took an hour to totally dry, got fed up, so went to the barber first thing in the morning.
I'm less than pleased with the results. Barber was busy having a conversation with his colleague and wrecked my hair. I now look retarded. Yay.
