Carpe Diem

There once lived a boy who always felt that he was alone, as though something was missing from his life. As any other lonely day, he trudged on in the infinite wastelands, whereby rats scuttled by having their little races of speed and power. He looked up, and saw the gloom of the grey clouds shrouding the skies. He sighed, and resumed to plod laboriously in the desolate and never-ending landscape around him.

A beacon of light ! That was what kept him going. All he needed was some light in his life. 'Ohh how I wish that light could be with me so I needn't traverse this place just to see it."

Panting and exhausted, he put forth his right foot and dragged himself to the most western part of the land, that was where the beacon could be found. Alas, while the beacon was there, there was no brightness, no warmth. It was just stone cold, with it's looming pillar standing solitary in the area. "Strange, I've been here many times but it usually is pretty bright. There's even a food store there which no one ever uses." He was curious, and a little sad, for that guiding light which was always switched on and illuminated the darkness hitherto now, was presently a dull structure.

Movement ! Footsteps ! He shuddered with the thought of the armed robbers and thieves. Then he saw, that they were one, two, no maybe a small group of figures moving in and out of the light tower. They carried strange looking devices, with boxes that made little clattering noises when they knocked against each other.

"What are they doing?" Thoughts flooded his mind. "Were they the ones who caused this, to take my light away?" Deluged with questions and uncertainties, he watched a little more, with his unhappiness growing each time there was a little knock here and there.

He waited. For so long, had that same tower been shut off. It has been, let's see, five years now. Still, the boy waited for his light. Patiently, he always revisited that same western region of the wastelands. The rat race still continued incessantly, whereby the weaker rats were instantly overwhelmed by the powerful ones. He lifted his head, and the light was once more reaching his eyes. It warmed his heart, and made his eyes well up. It was a different light.

It was brighter, yet it was a comfortable sort, and with authority and power it controlled the landscape. The darkest places were lighted up, and the shadows in hiding were dispelled. The oppressive atmosphere had disappeared, and once more, no he couldn't say that - the desolate world he had been living in was finally replaced with happiness, with warmth.

Now he understood. The 'bad' people he had once labelled them as, were making changes to the light tower, making it shine brighter and lighting up not just the nearby areas, but everywhere else where the light could travel.

He looked up at the sky. It was bright. His future no longer seemed bleak.

Smiling and re-embracing the light once more, he stood up, and strode towards the light.

You light up my world like nobody else :) 

The Resolving Conclusion

Just 1 more day, and everything will return to me :)
All this time spent waiting was definitely not wasted, since it made me realise that I should never take things or even people for granted. Well, ok in short it made me realise how much I miss you :P

Today, was a long one. Met the usual guys at ishimura and there we had lunch. And ok we did feel guilty but we still went bowling instead of going to check in with the rest of the guys :/ bowling was fun as usual and yay ! I can finally maintain around 120 so that's an achievement for me at least :D !

Ohh, and we were then 4 hours late LOL. So the gorilla quickly went to the nearest NTUC to buy drinks (alcohol) for the entire chalet, and we cabbed there for free ! (courtesy of gorilla) and to top it off as to how lucky we were, it began pouring the moment we stepped into the chalet.

And then we realised that we were the only SH2 guys who were there since the rest were stuck at downtown east. - -

Hmm, basically the chalet was just about playing cards, eating catered food, playing games on the single tiny teevee in the living room, and drinking the vodka and other alcoholic drinks which gorilla bought (no I did not partake in the last activity).

And after whatever just happened (someone puked and staggered and slumped to the ground and peed all over the toilet floor, I can only say that I will never, ever drink unless necessary like a toast from an important person at a ceremony or a wedding dinner. (it was disgusting but it made me feel sad at the same time)

Yup but alright. This isn't the time for complaints or anything, and sorry for not having any visual entertainment this time round because I'm posting this with my phone :((

One more day, and everything will return to me :)) rest well and have a safe trip home :D !

Falling Action

Day 6. that leaves 2 more days :)
It's a little late but Happy Special Day :)) !
Let's postpone the celebration till the day when you can go out again !
Yup, can't wait much longer already :D

Alright, today was unproductive as usual. What's new Aikeen. Hmm, woke up quite late today so at least the morning was spent doing something productive like sleeping. Watched youtube videos, logged in to maple to collect the daily awards, nua-ed and just stoned. In short, I was really rotting away at home. Terrible indeed, since I wanted to go out but didn't in the end. At least I have a consolation with the chalet tomorrow which I'm actually looking forward to (no not because there's free food or anything :P) Hope there'll be lots of people going it'll be more fun ! Ohh, and I shall abstain from alcohol tomorrow. Made up my mind super firmly already about no alcohol unless they're for special occasions like weddings or formal dinners. And anyway I've a task to do and that is to be the 'guardian' of Seven in case he gets drunk. Shall prepare a few plastic bags in case he really does throw up :/

And later will be the last time I see a certain someone since he's going in early for an extra 2 months of training in the army. It must really suck for him since he only had 9 days of relaxing. Oh well, shall get him a cup of koi tomorrow since he did help me with stuff along the way ever since sec three. All the best !

Shall end off this post since there really isn't much to talk about my day - since it had practically nothing interesting happening at all. But tomorrow will be a more eventful one (hopefully) and yup, I'll update again then :)

Here's something to laugh a little at :D ! Pretty cool actually but you might have watched it already :O

Just 2 more days. I will wait for you, for you have always done so for me :) 

Beginning of the Resolution

With Day 5 gone, with the wind, that leaves 3 more days :)
It's getting so exciting - the wait that is.

Strange. Just five days ago, I was dreading the wait. Well alright, it was and still is draggy but now that the beginning to an end is drawing closer, the mood has certainly picked up a little ! :)

Today.. if I could use a single word to describe it, it would be 'reminiscing'. Not that I was reflecting deeply or remembering the past, just that the lazing around seems so secondary-school-like. Just lying on the bed for hours on end with the laptop on my fat laps and surfing videos from cats to games to funny videos. I think only lunch and dinner saved me from rotting away in the room since it wasn't homemade.

Re-patched Maple and actually played quite a fair bit today (disappointed in myself) so I shall go out for some fresh air tomorrow instead ! Ohh, and I finally managed to get around to washing my bags and shoes since they were all muddy and grubby. And the LOO omgosh, first time actually bending over and scrubbing with a brush and water. Ended up with a slightly cleaner toilet but a sore arm and tired back. Sighhhh I must be getting old :/

Yup I should spare you the details of the filth and grime stuck on the walls so here's something lame to make up for the lack of details :P

Imagine yourself being surrounded by a whole group of sharks out at sea. How would you try and save yourself ?

Ohh, and here's another something which you could just watch IF you have time :P His presentation was really neat and thought-provoking ! :O

According to him, there are more stars than any words which people have spoken collectively through the ages. Yet in that overwhelming number of stars, I found you. :)

Rest well and take care ! Just 3 more days :D

'Stop imagining' and there you will see the answer to the lame riddle. :P

Confluence of the Climax

Day 4 , 4 more days until you return :) 

The wait is so annoying but still, I will wait for you. 

Today, began with a shocking truth that it didn't rain in the afternoon. Probably the most boring and time-wasting day in this week so far. Woke up earlier and slacked longer. Was supposed to go back to the hotel with the fballer guys but decided not to since they'll probably still be recovering from the drinking. Patched Maple again and I'm back to leisure playing again. It managed to successfully keep me occupied and interested for like .. 2 hours with the new class. And then it got boring again. 

Well, at least it's free. :P

Met up with the four guys at around 1 plus at marina for lunch and bowling. But it ended up with them playing pool until 4. On the bright side, lunch was really nice ! The hainanese chicken rice there was gooood ! It costed just four dollars but the portions were generous. Went to the arcade side of the pool place by myself since it was a two-versus-two pool game between the four fballers. Cleared one entire gameplay of Tekken 5 and KOF'02 before going back - only to find that they were still playing. Woah. 

At least we still did managed to go bowling in the end. And not one or two, but four games ! :) 

Well it was pretty funny since Seven didn't even realise he was standing at the wrong position to bowl until the third game. And right from the start, mrahbeng was trying to imitate the pros by curving the ball. He did succeed a few times, and it was quite comical since he would release and totter as if he was about the fall down. And finally the gorilla got his aim of >200 on the fourth round (which he demanded to have since he was so determined to break the barrier). Yup overall it was rather fun and time-wasting so it kind of fulfilled both criteria!

Here's the picture which we took of the scores after the last round:

You name the day

And I will pick the city

We'll fly away

Til' then call me when you miss me.

This is so relatable now :) <3 Take care ! :D

Rising Action

Day 3, and the longing to just see you keeps increasing :(

Today was a relatively lazy day compared to yesterday, with the morning spent with my computer watching animals and people do funny things like fails. Went out later to meet the mosquito at Ishimura since he didn't eat yet. Got some sushi for myself since dinner was going to be a heavy one with the buffet at Merchant Court :O !

After that, we went to Timezone for a while before heading down to Clarke Quay where we managed to find the way to the hotel with very unreliable directions from Seven with an L. Well ok, at least the general directions were correct. It was a cozy suite but I guess with the fballers inside the room, the atmosphere was completely ruined with noises which can be likened to a hundred ostriches getting strangled by a rope or something.

And the Rum was completely dead to the world on the bed. Apparently he got really drunk last night and completely lost himself and puked all over his class chalet. And he had excreted blood today, even though he was able to supposedly hold his liquor well. Precisely why I'll never understand why people like to drink. Oh well it isn't for me to say, since I have bad habits of my own.

Played Xbox for a while with the guys (Fifa 12) and then passed the controller on when they switched to Halo so I just fiddled with whatever I could find in the room. Sad life lol. Yup but at least we reached late so there was only 3 hours to spend doing nothing before dinner. Heard many stories about how the other guys spent their holidays so far, and somehow, 75% of them seem to have gone clubbing on their own. Woah. But I'm still not going :)

Hmm .. and dinner was full. The choices were much less compared to the one at MBS but I guess it was considerably good nonetheless :P

Here's some pictures to sum up the day's activities:

It's just five more days
But why does it seem so long
I miss you so much <3

Hope you're enjoying your trip at least :D Smile :) 

Introduction

Today.. was a rather exciting, yet slightly sad day. Went out with the usual clique, and this time to the zoo! :O Ok it was expected since we got a little tired of just going to the movies or eating. 

Woke up late today and so I was (obviously) late in meeting them. And so they left without me for the zoo and left me stranded outside for half an hour whilst they caught the sea lion performance :/ Well it was disappointing, but I guess it was my own fault for always being tardy. Went in soon after and discovered that the entrance fee was $25 (WOAH) and that already made me worried, but managed to get a little gift for you :) and also for lunch at KFC. Oh, and right after that, I found out that we had an enthusiast amongst us who volunteered for one of the performances LOL. The video was already so funny without the sound, so I can't imagine it with the audio! 

Hmm, we hung around the gift store for a rather long time before collecting our primate from the entrance gates(he was late too), and off we went on our little adventure. Took group photos and we went to see the Asian side of the zoo. That included the white tiger, monkeys and apes, as well as the lazy hippo (ok I'm being lazy here since we obviously saw much more animals but these were the more impressionistic ones :P) Yup and not forgetting the Panda exhibit which was.. overrated actually? Well ok we did get to see them, but one of the two was sitting down and not even moving. And the other one just walked in circles. - - I think the red panda was more fun to watch since it climbed overhead us, yet few tourists were interested in non-JiaJia and non-KaiKai :( So we gave them some attention and quickly moved on to the exterior (which killed us because the exhibit inside was so cold but the outside was blazing). 

And then the weather turned bad. :/ So we didn't have much of a choice but to make our way across to the kiddy section where there was KFC and yes, the kiddy splash area. The thunder boomed and we gave up trying to play in the pool immediately. KFC was an expensive affair with each one spending close to $10 since the prices were like O.O (but it was good). 

After eating, it was still raining heavily but that didn't quell our adventurous spirits so we DRENCHED OURSELVES BY WALKING WHILE IT WAS STILL RAINING. Brilliant. Oh, and the umbrellas didn't help at all since I shared the cover. So in the end no use. And my shoes are ruined so I shall wash them tomorrow :( 

Haha and to think we still went bowling after that. Woah, hats off to us seriously ! Oh well we still can't reach the primate's level since he's just too good. 

And so, that ended our last clique outing together, since the yak is returning to her homeland and might not return till next year to collect the result slip. :/ Yup, these are the photos of the near past :) 

And to the one and only reading this,I have been thinking of you,
And how you make me feel.  

Come home soon :) <3
Just six more days :D 

Prologue

Ahh yes back to blogging again for me. It's been a while (ok a rather looooong while) since I last posted something.

Let's not dwell too much on the pre-A's period, since it was mostly study, mug, read notes, slack, eat, sleep, school-school-school. Well alright there isn't much change now, since eating, slacking and sleeping still take up the bulk of my - Our time. :P

\O/ Yay A's are over and it seems so surreal! It seemed just yester-yonder when we were counting down to 100 days, then 50 days, and suddenly it zoomed past like a bullet (pew-pew) train! :D Well except for the last week which dragged on forever.

A's was pretty ok, the process was great, the people and time spent with one was really great, and the exams itself wasn't life-sucking, and prom was great. Life is great. Pardon my limited vocabulary since is isn't as great as it used to be. Great. :/

BON VOYAGE ! :) Not for me (nahh I'm staying put on this little island) but for the one who landed safely in another land :D

Today - Is the present. And I like presents. Boring would be a little harsh, boring it shall be then. Woke up earlier than expected to a start for the longest eight days ever, which is now seven :) Went out early to meet up with the secondary school guys and well, it was a sad affair since there were only four of us. The rest.. TSK TSK still can wake up at 11 am and 1 pm one :O Made it a point to try to be with them, because one of them's going in earlier for NS and it would suck if no one wanted to hang out with him to play basketball and slack so I dedicated a few mornings to him already :)

No one likes feeling lonely, and no one ever should be.

After the sad yet exhausting game, it was lunch at Bishan North (awesome place yeah) and I think we got lazy so we took the bus to amk (oh yeah we probably stank up the bus as well). Bumped in Small-boy-Lee on the escalator and apparently he was going to go out with his other SJI friends so I guess at least he has a good life too. Reached home, slacked, slacked, sleep, woke up, and left for the most rushed 3 hours of the day.

Went to pick up a CacheCashe plastic bag behind some pots ;P , traded back a room card key ;P , and rushed back down to meet SammySam to return him his $$$$$$$$. Ran back to the mrt station to go meet the mum for dinner right after that. And back home I am, rotting away at home and now in front of this white screen. Guess this is the life without my favourite company :))

Yup it'll be a long week, but I'm looking forward every day :D Take care, rest well! <3

Cheers. :)



MUST WATCH ! :D Since you saw a few of them :) It'll make your early morning a better one at least :)
