"What the fuck is 305?"

"What 305???"

" There you know pitbull always sing, bleah bleah 305! Bleah hah !! "

"Oh !!!! Hey mr 305 in my body hah !!!! Hahaha it should be something he represent probably a district or something "

This conversation was pretty interesting cause we realized after researching mr 305 actually meant mr Miami! A nick name for pitbull himself! Damn that guys awesome dude!

Speaking of awesome, a chain of random unrelated events happened that made me pleasantly surprised. Well I attribute these to me being completely happy and high 2 nights ago.... Mmm

1.I met Daphne Khoo
2.I was told I was dancing with her!
3.I was told I kept saying Charlyn is hot ( don't worry I probably meant it anyways.. Doesn't take a genius to say that )
4.I am actually working on a track for Daphne.
5.A Tian Tian a stranger added me on fb fuckin gorgeous and I have no clue. Could I have met her somewhere?
6.My long lost aquantaince Don Tiew messaged me randomly while I was high.
7.We just had a fb convo and yeah I was perturbed when I saw a relationship request! But for the fun of it, i accepted anyways.( Meaningless for now stay calm girls. )
8.Gwen told me I was kissing her again. I'm like "what the!! Was it good???I dont believe!" (I'm sure I did nothing like that but If I did it anyways, Im certain it's good otherwise why would she let me kiss her???bleah) Gwen talk cock lah never kiss at all lor you were with jap dudes!
9.Oh what the hell, I think this year have just started to get pretty exciting for me!
10. Daisy is coming!
11.Bjorn shared with me that Gwen said that actually I kinda look alright ( thanks Gwen ) just that it's the way I talk to chicks and I treat everyone like friends and that's why I'm still single! Hah I guess this years gonna be great to have some awesome fun. Bring it on bitches!

Crazy 2 days I had and there is no better way to end the day with popeye chicken in the airport with my brotherhood of NOD, comrades, bombadiers of the B17 Memphis belle co., Foxhound, the la Li Lu Le lo, the free masons, the wutang clan, .. Yeah my brothers in short. Probably be rotting at home without you all.

The Hangover : 500 Days of Summer

Having Ling over at my crib watching The Hangover had really made my Sunday worthwhile. I must admit I haven't been all that empowering and i see myself sliding a little back to the 7 sins. There are so many things that I havent been keeping in existence but thank goodness, I have a bunch of great hommies. Brushing that aside, both movies were great in their own way!

The Hangover

Its probably one of the more hilarious shit I've seen in awhile. It got me sitting upright when I could have lie down and watch the whole movie. Especially when the slightly slower guy is actually good in counting cards in blackjack! While there are many highlights for the show.. oh well what the heck, I'll just name all that I can remember.. 

  1. The Tiger In The Bathroom
  2. Stu plucking his own tooth!
  3. Alan counting cards!! 
  4. The Korean naked man
  5. Mike Tyson 
  6. The School Teacher getting Scratched 
  7. How they actually left of with $80000
  8. How wingman was displayed in the movie.
Well there are really tonnes of highlights that have caught my attention. It sure cracked my night up! Thanks Ling for watching it with me with what little time we have.

500 Days Of Summer

It was a movie that had got me to the other side of the spectrum. It represented pretty much my relationship with relationships.. I actually felt like avoiding the movie for awhile because it actually reminded me how my ex relationship was. For real.. its like I was the main character of the movie ( then again we all are.. ) and my ex was the main girl. It got me to think about my love life. There was a scene played in parallel when one depicts the Reality and the other the Expectations. That scene could have made me cry for real. I mean i didnt cry but it could have. 

The only reason why I watched on was somehow i thought that watching it would help me understand what went wrong with my life since I;m already on the roll. It was painful but I pursued on.

After finishing the movie, I came to realize how I always try to figure things out and make everything make sense.But after watching this movie.. I can agree with the movie.. that most times... relationships don't make sense. It just happens. And as of now.. I think I am sure of it. 

I've been lead on before. I know. It Hurts.

Then again, I'm sure my presence deserves another chance in another relationship, despite knowing the countless bullshit I have to put up with, the countless disagreements, the trying to figure things out when there is really nothing to figure out.. the unnecessary arguments etc. there is the silly games we play, the love we would have for each other, the things we do for each other, the endless kisses, the laughter, the smile, the sex, the being there for each other and fuck, there is all that bunch of love stuff that truly defines the relationship. End of the day... I realized that its really what you make out your relationship to be.

Stop figuring out already. There truly is nothing to figure out. There is no right formula. It just happens.. and then you deal with it...

There was a scene, in the movie where the actor said " I truly hope that you are happy "

but I guess what he really meant was " I truly hope that you are happy, although it has hurt me so much having to be going through this, I just want you to know that is really the only way I know to tell you that I love you."

BBQ with hommies 2010

(download)


While our usual Saturdays was spent mindlessly on Loud music and alcohol, we decided to make a change and focus back to our most basic interest. Our hobbies. This week was focused on Bjorns hobby for cooking and I sure am glad to have invested a little in his hobby. Soon he will have all the spices he needs to cook a storm for us and all the right equipment too! Its great to see progress over this! Whatever we've said so far, we have achieved. That brings us much Street Cred fo sure!

Saturdays have evolved so Much without the influence of alcohol and clubs. Not saying either is a bad thing, it's just a choice I've made and I rather be spending my Saturdays working on some great big project than to be escaping reality through alcohol and loud awesome music.

Throughout this period of being AWOL from the scene, I came to learn that everyone clubs for different reasons.. Some just like it, some thinks it's a form of relief , some just wanna get laid, some to socialise and some to drink and some are just there for the sake of being there and some don't even want to be there!

Well I've been through all that thoughts and I have walked two moons around it. I figured I am better off building a plane or something.. Spending some quality time with my roadies.. Having sex with some beautiful stranger, or maybe just some random form of exercise..but of all that random
Thoughts, i think i seek comfort in being around people that I care about..

Swimming today was the activity I looked foward too pretty much and I've manage to swim 8 laps with brute force! It's not a lot to most swimmers but I guess I am still learning to swim and struggle less with water! Gwen came by as a special guest today after seeing my tweet and she actually came over for a swim together! It's nice to see more people resting on a Saturday night!

We had our dinner at chomp chomp at serangoon gardens together with ling and bjorn and Gwen. Seriously I wonder what I do without them.. Having said this statement, I suddenly realize I have answered a question I asked myself few months back when I met the wonder girls. What would I be doing if I've not met them. Hmm

While Yzanne couldn't make it for the swim, and dinner , we managed to somehow invite ourselves over to her place and I swear Yzanne is the most lovely sweetest girl I probably ever met in my life time. Though we have different styles and character, I sure see a potential wifely character in her being! She took care of us literally when she brought out the mattress and offered us drinks and make sure we feel home. That gesture alone had melted my heart. I love you best friend.

Catching me myself and Irene was great but more importantly I came to realize that the very key ingredient to an awesome day is not really the movie itself, neither it's the swim nor the clubs nor the alcohol nor whatever activities we are doing. But rather it's the company you are with that would truly determine your enjoyment factor.

We are where the partys at. We enjoy each others company and that matters more to me than the activities we choose to be in..

Invictus

The day started with me sitting upright with my eyes closed on my bed, leaning casually forward , hugging my $79 pillow. "damn barely 2 hours of sleep and I have to be up!"

Well I got up anyways and head to my office knowing that we will be catching Invictus today ! That thought alone is enough to spur all that secret stash of energy to power my whole day and maybe the whole night ! At least it hasn't bailed on me this far.

As usual I met up with Ling who has became my working buddy catching the same train. It sure helps having somebody to talk to on your way to work.. It sorta reminds me how we were as kids getting to school on a school bus.. And you have that one person to talk to. Well Ling, you're that person for me ! Call it my daily dose of fortune.. I will never stop beleving in this little girl. She will go far and become someone huge! Till then it be awesome to look back at this morning trip and say " hah I used to take the same train to work everyday!"

As I spent some time dressing up for the night, I was exactly on time for work which didn't allow me time to get my usual vegeterian breakfast. "saved $2.50!! Awesome"

Work was generally productive today as we had many orders coming in and many plans of coming out with more insane stuff! I'm kinda satisfied with the amount of touch ups and photographs and logistics and planning I've done today! I am certain with this training I can operate simultaneously better which is a quality I need to aquire in this life time for sure . Well we are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it!!

Since movie is only at 9pm , I arrived the rendezvous point rather early. In fact 2 hours early and since my best friend Yzanne said she be here in 15min, I sat down typing half of this blog and was interrupted upon the arrival of my Best friend Yzanne. 

The relationship I have with my best friend is rather a pleasantly strange pleasant one. It is honestly the best way I could describe our relationship as we call ourselves best friends but we hardly meet up and hardly speak to each other. The stranger thing about this relationship of ours is that we somehow genuinely do care for each other when we meet up and be there as a well.. best friend. Anyways I would gladly be there for her since she just got out of a super long relationship. Well .. at least she still have many friends and yes the Best Friend here.. and pretty much everyone else around me is her friends too. So what the heck, with the latest iPhone technology, we are just a Whatsapp away from each other.

We had subway for dinner, walked around Vivo and collected the tickets and rendezvous once again this time inside the cinema as Andy and Bjorn was late. Despite the fact that we were on time, the show didnt start till Andy and Bjorn stroll inside, "Wasssssuuuup" Just like old times in poly days .. just that we are 24.5 years old to 25.5 years old now... I wonder what we did over the years... "Like the sands in the hour glass.. so is the days of our lives..."

Invictus was a great movie. Not one of the usual shows that I would go for but it was great as it touches much about what it takes to be a bigger person on a much higher level. Not my usual kind of show (dialogues and dialogues, not much action) but sure the catch phrase "I am the captain of my pain, the master of my soul" has strike an impact to most of the audiences. 

The show ended on a good note and we went for our adventure in Geylang. Since none of us were hungry we all had a drink and bean curd. Damn its good way to end the night and I managed to get a snap shot of everyone.. thanks to iPhone's technology! 

I wish myself a great night as I have an exciting day tommorrow. Due to my tired nature, I decided on canceling tuition tomorrow so I can have a full days rest!! Its gonna be yet another great day tomorrow where I will be cleaning up my room and my mess in my computer! Can't wait!

Achievements

It was over the span of 3 months or so. I have started hanging out more with Bjorn and Ling and came to learn that I am not really alone. There are so many others just like me. Well.. we are single and we are all looking for some company. At least we have each other to look at and smile at each other and go suggest some random shit to do and do it anyways. 

 

2 Weeks ago we talked about the legendary Taiwan Red bean pancake and Teo Chew porridge ( nothing comes between me and teo chew porridge ). What I really love about Bjorn and Ling is that when we say something and decided to do it, we will do it. At least I know that I am not going in circles in this relationship we have and we are just propelling ahead. I wonder whats at the end of the tunnel for all of us sometimes.. An adventure worth taking.

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

Departed

 

Like most friendships, it takes two hands to make it work. If I tend to ignore things, start taking things for granted, chances are that I'll fuck up.. I know its a generic statement to make and everyone knows that.. but seriously.. that was my relationship with my new bicycle..

 

Over the new year, I have left my bike parked at bedok interchange on the third lot.. it was only today i tried to retrieve it and found it to be missing.. it made me realize how fragile relationships can be.. There goes my bicycle... 

The Star Maker Says it aint so bad

The dreamakers gonna make you mad

Spaceman says everybody looks down

Its all in your mind..

While there are so many reasons to be angry and sad and shit... its really all in our mind and how we choose to view things as. 

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

Once Bitten Twice Shy

I think all of us have gone through a bad experince and we become someone or somehow more defensive after that. I know I have and boy I am probably very defensive over many things. I see Andy's aunty and sometimes i feel kinda sad for her... and somewhere at the back of my head, I am kinda worried if I will ever become like her... shivers... 

Anyways, thank you for forgiving me for my insensitivity and my overly sensitive being ( as you all know me I can be quite an extremist ). I appreciate that gesture and I'll strike balance very soon. 

Ask for forgiveness.. cause we all fucked up too..

Forgive others ... cause we are bigger than that.

Time to set the hearts free.
