5 Days Around Christmas

Christmas Eve.1 Day Before Christmas.

Spent the whole afternoon with Andy in Film lab wrapping up the job which only ended early next morning (for Andy at least). I rushed down to town to catch Alvin and the Chipmunks with Alec and Ning. Not a bad movie for its cuteness and nice remixes but the storyline is SOOOOO boring. Went for last minute (to its most literal sense) Christmas shopping around Cineleisure and finally ending up at this new restaurant thingy for a Christmas dinner/supper. Camera is always the toy when the 3 of us are together. Well, most of the time. [for more details, catch Ning's blog]


Staring at the pretentious couple across the restaurant.

Santa #1
Santa #2
Santa #3
Alec: "Most natural"

Chirstmas Day. The Day.

Had dinner with my sec school buds at Park Royal Hotel. The first thing Shirley did when I saw her was to ask me to carry her bag of presents. Wait, she didn't ask. She passed me her bag of presents. -.- Boon is as auntie as usual. Meixia is now Mrs Lee (well, if ROM is soon) Shirin is auntie also with her gold Casio watch. Went over to Bugis to seek out post-dinner activity and ended up at TCC. Well, we are suppose to go Coffee Club for Ice Lychee. Boon and Xia was sure its at bugis and that place sells it. Boon apparently has been there a couple of times. NOT! TCC is different from Coffee Club. As usual, always had awful drinks at TCC. Condemned.

Szeming's drink rocks. Mine sucks.
The last survivors

Boxing Day.1 Day After Christmas.

Went out for dinner with Chia Meng and Weidong. Nothing big, just Burger King. Chit Chat on random stuff. Caught Citizen Dog after that. Very Amelie, with saturated colours, whimsical stories and many effects. Nice though it reminded me of My Girl in some ways.

Day after Boxing Day.2 Days After Christmas.

Went to send Chia meng's laptop for servicing before heading to Ikea to get some cool shit (which is sold out). Headed back to sch to realize can't get to work cause they are upgrading the Final Cut Pro. Denny's job is so totally delayed. I'm so screwed. Kex pop by after jamming to go down to town together for movie with Mattina and Andy.

my idiotic hair that day

Across The Universe is so damn good. It was a nice interpretation of Beatles' songs with strong references to things happening during that period, like war, freedom, hippies and all. It was a little too long at certain parts and Prudence's story seems a little weak. All in all, it was a nice movie with strong visuals. Love it.

Headed down to east Coast for dinner/supper. So nice to just walk along the shoreline and chat. Too bad we had to leave so early. Bunked in with Chia meng since its too far for Andy to send me home. Thom called to say results are out. Well, wasn't too good which was kin of expected. GPA 3.9. BAD. [Note: as of now, I still haven seen my results with my own eyes]

Yesterday.3 Days After Christmas.

Slept in till mid-day before heading to PS to meet up with artistic director of Little Red Shop (whom I met when helping with Gabby's project 3Men3Women).I'm helping him to do a simple edit of some of his shows to put up on the Little Red Shop. He's also inviting me to help out on one of his upcoming shows which looks super duper exciting. Had a nice long chat on that span from art to theatre to acting to creativity to life to laptops. Felt so much like a young boy with so much to learn. A critic which will spur me to improve my works.
So looking forward to work with them.

2 Buddy Meals Please

Today was a buddy's day out.

Woke up damn early in the morning (though I slept rather late last night) to meet my sec sch bud for a lesson on diamonds. Cut, Carats, Colour, Clarity, all add to the COST of the stone. Girls' best friend that was once a piece of coal. Well. In my opinion, Destinee from Lee Hwa in deed looks pretty but the sal
es person from Goldheart is the better one (Note: they are under the same umbrella company).

Drop by szeming's new place which is a stone's throw (literally) from Jurong West sports complex, which reminded me how long it has been since i went swimming.

Joined teacher for a hairdo make-over at szeming's cousin's salon. I like it there and now im an Ah Beng.

Alec had a journey to the west so we had a nice time exploring IMM. It reminded me of a x'mas shopping trip i had when i was 8 or 9 when i was led through the toys department of some departmental store. Today was almost the same. Helicopters. Bicycles. Rollerblades. Dvd players. Toys for the little boys in us basically. If only i can
really have them for x'mas.

Had a great time chilling @ hanzi's new place in Yishun with my lovely friends yesterday too. I miss our times together in year one.

I love my buddies.



The Closeted Beng

This is Xuan Xuan. I met him one Wednesday morning in a deserted mall filled with musical kids.
I take out my phone and he exclaimed in his cute little boyish voice, "This is the same phone as mine!" Next thing I know, he slides the camera cover down and takes this photo. A star in the making.

Nic's cool old school digital camera which he doesn't know how to use.

An Excerpt And A Quote


"Loneliness: there is no organ that can take it all."


"i wanted to say somewhere: i've tried to be forgiving. And yet. There were times in my life, whole years, when anger got the better of me. Ugliness turned me inside out. There was a certain satisfaction in bitterness. I courted it. It was standing outside, and I invited it in. I scowled at the world. And the world scowled back."

The sliver lining


Alone in the cold, empty lab, I'm dreaming of afternoon walks in France over the cyberspace with Ami who is in London.




Can't wait for miracles to happen. It's Christmas time isn't it?




Well, back to my brain-less work for now.

Trapped

Feeling trapped these few days. Too many things to express. I feel like I'm losing myself day by day.

Only half way through the week and I'm dying. How to survive till the end of the year?

Somethings we can never escape from.

Delusional kid.

Which is worst? To lose yourself or the reflection in the mirror.

I was never the priority.

I'm nothing in others' presence.

Drowning in work.

Help.

Save.

me.

Personal by Stars


[Wanted:]
Single f, under 33, must enjoy the sun, must enjoy the sea
[Sought by single m:] Mrs.Destiny, send photo to address, is it you and me?

[Reply to single m:]
My name is Caroline cell phone number here, call if you have the time
28 and bored, grieving over loss, sorry to be heavy but heavy is the cost, heavy is the cost

[Reply to Caroline:]
Thanks so much for response, these things can be scary
Not always what you want
How about a drink? The St.Jude club at noon?
I'll phone you first I guess
I hope I see you soon!

I never got your name, I assume you're 33
Your voice it sounded kind
I hope that you like me
When you see my face, I hope that you don't laugh
I'm not a film-star beauty
I sent a photograph
I hope that you don't laugh...

[Note to single m:]
Why did you not show up?
I waited for an hour and finally gave up
I thought once that I saw you, I thought that you saw me
I guess we'll never meet now
It wasn't meant to be
I was sure that you saw me, but it wasn't meant to be

[Wanted:]
single f, under 33, must enjoy the sun, must enjoy the sea
Sought by single m:
nothing too heavy, send photo to address
is it you?
or me?

Words...

Words
are
letters
and
alphabets
stringed
up with
nothings.




Words are

frivolous.
They are
empty
and
hold no weight.




Do not put
all your
trust in them.
More often then not,
they are
the herald of false hope
and
bringer of despair.








Certain things just keeps coming back to haunt us.

3 Men 3 Women

Had a charged up conversation today which rekindled the passion.

Photos from Gab's set. Catch the show at the Arts House this weekend. Interesting exploration with designers and actors.

当路走到了最后

累了,回头一看时

最终还是一人行

会是如此的寒冷,孤单

如此的安静

棒棒糖的日子

十年后的我们回头看十年前的自己
误会,沉默,谣言
让故事更曲折
让回忆更甜美

你会忘记那棒棒糖的日子吗?
