looking out...

{ in the ancient city... }

shock and horror!

{ madness }

so... what do we do now?

ok yes... the holidays... they have been around for some time... now i shall do my self-obligatory "at least one entry per month" thing....

lots of things have happened... been almost two months since i actually wrote anything... last entry with something to actually satiate the voyuers out there was in august... too much to write about actually... ok no... not that much... since... i have been sleeping most of the time... ok no... since the holidays only that is...

school was absolutely draining; the last four weeks of it... running around quite a fair bit... had to literally steal time during the fasting month in order get certain things done... did not really help that classes were held in the evening when it was time to break fast... but i think i did well and got what i set out to do spiritually... other than that... during raya period... i remember going to the printers at 2 in the morning... after going through a whole day of about my only 'raya' outing, besides the ones for and with family, this year... oh heck... the whole raya was like that... had an exam the day after raya... and for the next two weeks, it was busy, busy, busy... it would be quite hard to actually infer from the pictures from the last entry that i was actually in the midst of my assesment week during that period of time but i was... come to think about it, it was quite almost superhuman... after printers, it was back home to do a report and a journal that was due in 6 hours... and not a single word had been written... managed to pull that off... somehow... think both turned out quite well... then it was off to school to set up the studio and get everything ready by 10am and leave the studio... then we had to wait and see if we were to be called up by the jury... which took some time... had to wait until 4pm actually... spent the time catching up on alot of lost sleep in ray's car... only woke up to go out and get sustenance... such a relief to have all that out of the way now... hopefully my work for the second term can cover up the nonsense i did for the first term... it better... or else... if you were wondering... below is the outcome of the term...

that raya outing was very nice indeed... never envisioned myself to be going on such an outing with so many people post junior college... yes... there was at one point of time about 28 people... went all over the island... very tiring but good nonetheless... and if you had gone around voyuering into blogs of the people involved, they would have mentioned about the amount of food... i shall put on record that i didn't eat at every house... i was actually full after the first house... hah... i tried... but i really did not want to regurgitate all that i have eaten...

anyways... had a little trip across the causeway (wonder why it is called the causeway... do i really need a cause to get across?) with ray and sam... kind of needed that little escape... as a sense of closure... for me... it was really just to get some fuckin' gonads... or dunkin donuts if you didn't know what i wa stalking about... they should really come back here to sg... would save me alot of trouble... i mean... why even leave in the first place?! went to the new mall in jb... quite some distance... ray didn't want to drive in cause none of us wanted to get robbed/killed in some horrific manner or at least tempt anyone to do as such... my w/c is useless there... mall was nicely done... reminds me of klcc... about the only 'standard' mall in the country until now... just wonder how long it can stay that way... came to the resolution that singaporeans are about the only people in the world who would go through considerable distances to check out a new mall... oh heck... i got what i wanted out of it... would go back there again... if not for anything then just for the fuckin' gonads... ar har...

so far, holidays have been spent quite well... been working every now and then... nothing too obsessive... people at work have been fun to be with and very helpful along the way... made the transtion back to work very smooth after a two year lapse so much so that work proper have been nothing that is beyond cope... obviously some things have changed... that is not entirely unexpected as things change and people move on... one cannot really expect everything to reamin the same all the time... new faces here and there... on a personal note, made sure to self to keep a level head... done reasonably well there i think... can't really talk much about work here... don't want to actually... otherwise, i just don't want to get into trouble for writing about things i am not supposed to... in short, work is going along very fine indeed... thank you all... weird part would be explaining to people who are not in the know as to why they see me around... urgh... still don't know how to go about doing that... tsk...

other than that... been spending quality time with my chica... MY chica... so all you people, yes you people, can just continue to leave us alone... and if you haven't, you really, really, really should start to... we are doing very fine thank you if you need to know... yes... it is still not a daily basis thing but you don't really need to know how we function... don't bother... save yourself the headache... don't compare, don't nothing... especailly if it is just to console yourself... appreciate the concern but we know where we are going... we like to remind ourselves of such from time to time... and if you need to know... i am getting possessive... in my own mannerisms yes... period...

if not, then the indelible i-jo has been in the scene... had his exhibition at the pan pacific... really nice his work... would like to tell him this; that i am very proud of you and what you has come to be and to what, with much perserverance and determination, you will eventually be... i really wish you all the best with what you are setting out to do and in general to all your future endeavours... know that you will have have my undying support and concern even if it at times if does not seem to be as such... and no... i don't mind you asking me out at all... i am glad and thankful that we are good friends... and know that i have and will try, best as possible, not to turn you down... you, have that solemn promise... until the day of course that we get into an unreconcilable bitch fight and start hating each other like the day we first crossed paths... heh heh...

all right, think i have written quite a fair bit... that and the fact that it is almost 5am now... yes... my body clock is screwed... yet again... no promises but hopefully i can get down to writing a few more entries and uploading a few more pictures before a certain date... a certain date a particular someone is dreading... i think... heh heh... till next time... ciao!
