-some time last week i was at the mrt platform waiting for the train to arrive. and when it did, i saw someone flag it. like uh okayy.

-i didn't even know which day my birthday falls on until somebody told me. sorry man now that's the holidays, everyday is a sunday. worse still, i didn't know tuesday was a public holiday.

-i got really high on sprite whilst playing mahjong because i started singing along to things like 'gangster's paradise' and 'you spin me right round baby right round like record baby right round round round'. scared my friends i must have. am making a conscious effort to stay away from sprite.

-on my way to chorale yesterday i accidentally stepped on something white and pinkish and squishy when crossing the road. i've since hosed down my birks and am praying that it was squished peaches and not a dead cat. YUCKS.

-my mum's been on a konyakku (how the fuck do you spell it) jelly making spate. everyday there's a new batch of them in the fridge. but then, it's always lychee. i think she just needs the syrup to make her lychee martinis (which is good stuff i have to say) and had to figure out something to do with the fruit itself.

-my house is like changi nature reserve. here's why:

giant bird's nest fern. i can't believe it got to this size.

and a real bird's nest! it's been around for some weeks now.

there's a small bird inside, but it's too dark to see from the photo. can't get too close though, apparently the mother bird will reject the eggs or something if so.

haa 2 posts in a day. how unlikely is that. well just a quick shout out here to help my friend promote his new business that he's set up together with his sis.

funkypeepers is a new concept spectacle frame shop at which they only sell spectacle frames (i.e they don't do lenses). but you can get really funky and lightweight frames, and they all sell for just $38 here whereas they cost about like a hundred plus at big optical shops? and even if you just buy the frames and make your lenses elsewhere, it's definitely still cheaper. so yup, if you're looking to make a new pair of specs, here's a new option for you. i think it's worth checking out :)

funkypeepers is located at B1 of penninsula shopping centre (behind funan centre). you'll be able to see it once you enter the main entrance.

so yup check it out yeah :)

that time of the year comes again. sleep at 3am, wake up at 2pm. bum round everyday 'cos my close friends are still having their exams in other unis. sit around and wait for grades to be returned. stone in front of the computer the whole day. i can feel my waistline expanding already.

at least this semester's grades look good, but that's only because these were modules i actually enjoyed. sometimes i still regret coming here, because i have to take a whole load of shit fuck compulsory modules which i don't even give a damn about, and they pull down my gpa like crap.

and i hate this damn school. everyone is like a super driven nut. say you're not doing your internship this summer and everyone looks at you as if you ought to be shot. say that you're a B+ average and people think you're a dumbass. but well i guess any other place would suck as bad because it is essentially still school. just 4 sems and an internship to graduation. must. per. se. vere.

i charted out my summer and it seems that i'm actually gonna be quite busy after all. i just want to fly to melbourne and be with panghao. like right now :( i hate being apart from him. hateeeee.

it's such a stupid cookie cutter world. and everything they teach you in school, how the system works, how you're judged, it's all with regards to this stupid cookie cutter world. and it seems as if anything but acquiescence will get you nowhere. and that's exactly how i feel. like i'm going nowhere.

okay my last post here was last year. well i'm back with a new layout and uh, i shall try to post here more often from now. gerald! i posted haha.

anyway just some updates since the last post. i'm done with year 2, which means i've gone through half the hell. 2 more years and i can graduate and get the hell out of school. i mean yeah work sucks but at least you get paid for that. i'm am also a (carless) driver now.

panghao has left for his studies. he's been in melbourne since feb pursuing his physiotherapy degree. i'll be flying up in june to visit him so yeah, one month of summer burnt in aust.

but well it's not like i'm being very productive here anyway. i've decided to leave my internship till year3. i hope i don't regret this decision later on, since it's not exactly easy to secure a good internship. but well i definitely cannot miss out on visiting pang this summer. if i don't get to see him till december, i think i'll go crazy. crazyyyyyyy.

most of the close friends aren't done with exams yet so i'm bored to tears. so much so i've gotten down to cleaning my room and doing my laundry. yes despite having a washer and dryer at home, i still handwash most of my clothes. totally unglam and tiring but well, ever since i found my clothes decorated with grey blotches, i swore never ever to machine wash my better clothes again. i guess the dad can't read laundry labels too well huh.

and fuck, it's just hard to watch the news or read the papers nowadays because it's just one tragedy after another. forget about global warming or asteroids or whatever. i think we'll all just end up killing each other.

random things.

new frames anyone?

bored stiff.

summer break :)
