You know you have been out too much,
When you are ill with a bad throat.

You know you have been out too much in winter,
When you are ill with a bad flu.

You know you have no life,
When you are ill and still gotta get to work.

And at times like these,
You start thinking,
Maybe all you need is some love.
Hey, where is the love?

Veronika Decides to Die.

That was the first book,
That I wanted to sell away,
After reading just 2 pages of it.
This is crap, Paolo.
But it got better along the way.
I liked the way it ended.
As opposed to redundant last chapter,
Of the infamous The Alchemist.
Still gonna sell it though.
Any buyers?

Blues, blues, and more blues.
Accompanied faithfully,
By overcast gray skies.

More budget clubbing on the checklist,
Forming part of the escape plan.

Who has ever heard of,
London without the gray?

Been clubbing on a budget,
Almost intensively,
Even on a Monday.

Some nights ago,
I met a Latin girl from Uruguay,
Who reminded me of Vanessa.
There was also a "poledancer" in the club,
Who reminded me of Brenda.
How quite bizzare.

There was this Eurasian girl,
Whom I decided to hang out with again.
But when Feebs saw her,
She told me something that had me suspecting,
That I am losing my sense of judgement,
In this big, gray, lonely city.
原来长头发的,不一定是女孩子啊...

Another attempt at a getaway,
From the memories in my life,
Ended in the oddest way possible.
I'm still feeling very, very queer.

The Incredibles



Although it may not be better than Finding Nemo,
Go for a round of merry laughter,
Once again provided by our trusted friends,
Pixar & Walt Disney.

Leave the capes at home!

Garden chapel in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan.
By Klein-Dytham Architecture.

Wallpaper* [Nov04]:
Walking down the aisle,
Has never seemed so attractive.


Maybe not.

Drawing airport sections and elevations.
I am actually enjoying it!

Dating the wrong person,
Is like those times in school,
When you decked the most salah fashion.

Years after everything has happened,
Even when you have conveniently forgotten,
Your friends will still remember it all,
And constantly remind you of the affair,
And, of course, still laugh out loud.

The Earth is a conductor of acoustic resonance.

Or at least that was what Nikolas Tesla believed in.

Caught Coffee & Cigarettes,
A series of vignettes in black & white.
Not for those who can't handle slow movies.
Check out Bill Murray & Wu Tang Clan.
Hilarious.



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

The brilliant NUS Aki Department,
Left my Mom a message to ask me to ring them,
Refusing to give further details of what it is about,
Other than 'offering a chance to do MArch'.
'Offering'?
Hallo, I am the one who chose not to go back.
So I made this trunkcall,
Just to realise it was for a meaningless phone survey.
Stupid tossers.
"Can something so enjoyable be a Sin?"







Despite some scenes being like plain soft porn,
Original Sin was interesting to watch.
Might be because Angelina Jolie is so darn hot,
Even in scenes where she looked like a ghost,
And I can fully comprehend why Luis was nuts about Bonny.

Waihon came from Sheffield on Friday,
And we met for duck rice,
At the infamous Four Seasons.

J: So, are you going to be an architect?
W: Are you crazy ?!
J: Hmm? What does that mean.
W: Of cos! I mean, after all these years...
J: Well. I'm not sure about myself.
W: Why ?!
J: Don't feel passionate enough about aki, perhaps.
W: Well there are different levels of architects.
J: But I don't wanna do something I ain't passionate about.
W: Isn't there something you are passionate about?

Alas, all so familiar.
If I could answer that question,
There wouldn't be a crisis.

Two days off work,
Because I worked last weekend.
Hoo-ray!
But I haven't been using them,
In a satisfactory constructive way.

Think I should give my parents a call,
Plus get my buddys online to chat?
Haha.

I must be really nervous about California,
'Cos I had this weird dream,
About arriving at Dana Point,
Only to find that I am the only civilisation,
Amongst the blue skies, green fields,
Pacific Ocean, and a dusty track.
I drove the only white jeep I saw,
Down the only dirttrack I saw,
With no buildings around me,
Until the jeep ran 'out of battery'.
?!?!?!

Quotable Quotes.

+ Additional one for designers.

H:
Oh but Rem (Koolhas) is hip;
And we are corporate,
Which appeals to developers.
So by being corporate trying to be hip,
The developers might just love that!
- H, on using REMish stuff against the man himself.

I cried when I cut my (long) hair...
You know, it is like losing a relative...
- Girl on bus 168 to work

Loving someone so similar to yourself,
Is just like kissing yourself.
- Spongey's friend

I specially ordered the silicon implants,
All the way from Europe,
So there is only one pair.
The biggest fear,
Is that if I burst one of them now,
She will only have one boob.
- Plastic surgeon, while on a JJ-size boob job

Been snacking non-stop,
Thanks to the drop in temperatures,
Plus having to work over the weekend.

On top of all the money issues,
I am starting to worry about school fees.
Already made a pact with Mom,
Who is retiring next year,
That I will have to pay my school fees.
For those who conveniently forgot,
I am not done with school yet.

So I found another job with SellStuffEasy,
As a typist/writer for their listings.
The pay is very, very pathetic,
But at least it is cash-in-hand,
And it will cover my rent.

Also did a freelance photography shoot,
For a travel-writer called Piers,
Who needed portraits for his casting.

Amazing how there is no time for anything,
When one becomes career-focused.
Thank goodness I am a swinging bachelor. ;]

Something made me smile today.



If only,
If only.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Boys and girls,
I present my latest interest,
The wonderful Craigslist.

Thursday, November 04, 2004

Friends.

They know you so well,
They know exactly what you lack,
And exactly what you have.
And exactly what to say,
To add stones of salt to the wounds,
To add gallons of kerosene to the flames,
Every time,
Without fail.

Thank you very much.
What would I do without you lot?

Don't ever say sorry,
If it just means the same things,
Will happen again and again,
And again.

Oh wait,
I must have been mistaken,
About the apologies that were never made.

M y I n f a t u a t i o n ...
Seems more persistent than I thought.
Just another email from Orange County,
About her life in general,
Put a smile back onto my face again.

Jack, you sucker!

Curry from Brick Lane on Saturday,
Bicester shopping on Sunday.
All with Jia, Karen, and Teck.

Now I am down by £106,
Although I have a new ski jacket,
Plus a pair of Gortex gloves.
