Dramatic goodbye

Posted: 01:11 hrs (GMT+8)

I saw one of my best friends off at the airport this morning (technically yesterday, on Sunday). She’ll be away for 6 weeks. She’ll definitely have fun and be very busy.

Although I don’t meet her very often, something feels missing now. Sigh.

I guess the dramatic goodbye we gave her made it into a bigger deal. We had to rush for the MRT, Skytrain, and hurry before she entered the secure area (it was a surprise). Good thing we managed to get there in time, or we’d have been disappointed our efforts went to waste. Her parents were equally surprised to see us turn up, haha.

I’m super-tired now. Woke up at 5am, and now it’s already 1am plus.

 

Age Defying

Posted: 01:05 hrs (GMT+8)

I bought a moisturiser by Jergens brand today. It was cheaper in a huge pump bottle compared to the squeeze type, so that’s what I got.

Cos noone wants to grow up old

If it’s supposed to be “Age Defying”, why do I feel like such an Auntie slathering it onto my body?

 

Cycling to procrastinate

Posted: 19:58 hrs (GMT+8)

Up to my neck in work but I went cycling with my father just now. Who says I don’t make time for exercise? I don’t like this sedentary lifestyle I’m forced to adopt because of the exams.

In a word, it was fun. We cycled for about an hour. The wind was blowing very strongly so I didn’t feel warm at all. But as I turned on the path on the way home, the wind was suddenly cut off.

HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT! I could feel the heat emanating from my body… Wah. It was like I had my own portable sauna in my shirt.

When I got off the bike, my legs hurt (and my butt too, ouch). I wish bicycle seats were more comfortable.

Cycling on the last stretch of pavement on the way home, I remembered that the pavement used to be under construction, so we would have to go one big round just to get to the park. As I was basking in gratefulness, I almost hit a fire hydrant.

Lesson of the day: Pay attention! Focus is good for you.

 

I’m a Lousy Example

And then 3 days after writing the last post, I went and joined Twitter.

I finally signed up after a long time of avoiding it so I can follow my friends.

I’m using TweetSG so I can post from my mobile phone. Being able to post from my phone is about the only draw for me to keep using it, since I can’t do so with any of my blogs (not for free anyway).

 

Pen or keyboard?

Posted: 02:03 hrs (GMT+8)

Blogging is cool and all that, convenient, fast and neat and whatever.

I wonder if I should go back to writing with pen and paper, then maybe scan up the pages.

Somehow, it’s not very appealing to think about how people in the future will eventually make a historical film based on some person’s interesting website.

Off the top of my head, a few titles if they were made based on today’s world:

“The Homepage of Anne Frank” (aka “The MySpace of a Young Girl”)
“Bridget Jones’s YouTube Channel”
“The Motorcyle Weblogs”
“Emails From Iwo Jima”

I predict that we’ll probably see movies like that pop up within the next 20 years.

Has the Internet killed the charm of writing?

 

Songs in my head

Posted: 01:09 hrs (GMT+8)

The past couple of days I’ve been creating random song lyrics in my mind. Something not unusual.

I thought of writing them down somewhere but what’s the point? I can’t play or write music so I’ll forget the tune.

Well, it was good while it lasted.

Until the next time inspiration randomly comes.

 

Setting things straight

His time to shine comes only once every 12 years. Did you think he was just going to let the incident slip?

…Okay, so this was really just an excuse for me to experiment with my graphic programmes. I learned some stuff today in the process of making this post! :)

 

Happy Year of the Ox!

Crank call, revenge or insanity?

Posted: 13:37 hrs (GMT+8)

Every few weeks, this happens.

I don’t know why this guy keeps calling my house. Why I’m always the one who answers his call. And why the only thing he does is shout curses at me through the phone before hanging up. All he does is shout, “CHAO CI BAI” (if you didn’t get that, it’s like calling someone a cunt).

Is he crazy, senile, taking revenge for something or just a random troublemaker? Maybe it’s a whole family of them, because once (but just once), it was a woman who did the cursing.

Or maybe… Some troublemaker is redirecting phonecalls to my house. It happened a long time ago at my old house; who says it can’t happen again?

Crap la. Can’t these idiots just leave me in peace?

 

Change of theme

Posted: 15:04 hrs (GMT+8)

I changed my blog theme from “Kubrick” to “Connections”. I think the sidebar is nicer. Although the look has a lot of green, it’s easier on the eyes than the previous theme. I’ll be changing the header image eventually.

Do let me know what you think of this new look.
