alone on the bus at night, one of the few times i didn't feel like pulling out the book.good slow ride, the low whir of the engine and the soft voice of michelle branch playing in my plugs.
trying hard.
I'm feeling the way you cross my mind
You save me in the nick of time
I'm riding the highs, I'm digging the lows
But at least I feel alive
I never faced so many emotional days
But my life is good
i guess.
have to go to school tomorrow for meeting. sian.
meeting on saturday and i can't go.
school starts on monday. sian.
fuck. by Dan 11:24 PM

being in borders reminded me how i used to love books. so many books to read, so many games to play, so many movies to watch. so little time, and absolutely NO MONEY.im so broke i cant even be bothered to shop. i am very very tempted to just not buy any new clothes at all. blarh.
being in orchard also reminded me how much i HATE CROWDS.
也曾想过躲进别人温暖的怀中
可是这么一来就一点意义也没有 by Dan 11:00 PM
today i felt content. it's a good feeling, and not one that comes often. i gotta learn how to do it more. contentment.
i am feeling the temptation to throw caution to the wind.
thunder is an awesome song.
your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
do you know you're unlike any other? by Dan 12:46 AM

"It's weird that whatever else is on your mind, whether it's the downfall of global economics or terrible environmental troubles, the thing that always gets you most is when you fancy someone."-Chris Martin, when asked about The Scientist
its a damn good song.
lost much at mahjong again. fark. mahjong luck has been total bullshit for quite some time now. zzz. and internet explorer is pissing me off by still refusing to load letssingit.
hope i can wake up later for ball. and then meeting sa og for dinner. how ownage is that. 4 years on. wow. i feel old.
right then. i need new songs. ikimonogakari's album in 3 days. by Dan 2:57 AM

Baby says I can't come with himAnd I had read all of this in his eyes
Long before he even said so
Why go, I asked?
You know, and I know why
And it'll be just as quiet when I leave
As it was when I first got here
I don't expect anything
remembering how rachael yamagata and quiet brought me through much of tekong days.
best lyrics ever. funny how songs i could never understand now seem so blatant.
What if I was someone different in your only history?
Would you feel the same
As I walk out the door
Never to see your face again
i guess you'd feel even less. by Dan 11:35 PM
and a few simple words from serxing that actually made a lot of sense really cleared my mind.
perhaps i was blinded all this while, shackled by the all the inadequacies. by Dan 4:12 AM
i think
i really haven't grown at all.
still the same stupid, useless, naive person. by Dan 3:25 AM
i am very tired.
however did the euphoria sink down to this? by Dan 2:57 AM
You're the kind of girl
who can take down a man
and lift him back up again
i have never doubted myself so much before. by Dan 1:52 AM

one life lesson i forgot to mention.Ikea does not give shopping bags, hence the need for me to lug the basket around like a hobo.
oh, and Ikea's one dollar dogs pwn your ass. that's right, YOUR ass.
OKAY. since i have to be in school early tomorrow, or rather, approxymately 8 hours later today, i might as well hit the gym after that and work that gut.
hurrah hurrah. by Dan 12:35 AM

my friend's msn nick once saidsee the things that matter
what an excellent choice of words, really.
past all those layers, i wonder what i will find.
anyways. life's been good, and lets hope it stays that way. going to school tomorrow at 9am to meet and interview mega big shot in formal wear, followed by avatar, and then ball at night. woots. i hope avatar is good.
learnt many life lessons yesterday.
1. Carrying a basket full of belongings and food and walking on the streets makes you look like a damn hobo. this was one instance where the goatee didn't help.
2. Daiso has the smallest baskets ever. Waste my time. Basket.
3. Chocs and candies are damn expensive.
4. Some things are much harder than they look. WAY. MUCH. HARDER.
5. Working with a budget sucks. I need more money.
6. It's hard to face the problem when the problem is your face. (saw this on a random guy's tee shirt, lol)
7. Do not try to act tough and stand from pasir ris to jurong east on the train after not sleeping the entire night. You will feel like dying.
anyway, hurray to nice friends of people. yay. best method to crisis management is to recruit powerful allies. yes. lol. by Dan 6:54 PM

totally digging alison sudol's red hair. for the uninitiated, she is also known as a fine frenzy, and she sang almost lover.

music at old school timbre was fucked. seriously, whatever happened to musicians? not going to ever go there again. substation ftw please. or walas. damn. lol.

the cranberries are so awesome i can't even begin to describe. dolores o'riordan is simply amazing.
blah. no inspiration to write at all. sucks. i hate it when i face this screen and nothing is able to come out, even when my mind is a whirlpool of thoughts. words words words words that refuse to come out proper but are disjoint and disoriented and make absolutely no sense.
ky's coming back tomorrow
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger? by Dan 12:31 AM

do you run a race you can't ever see yourself finishing?i guess it's different, because at least every step is sure to lead you closer to the end. but then again i guess i have nothing to lose in peservering.

in the blur, in the flashes, amidst the lights and sounds and the deafening noise that makes you want to shut out your eyes and earsspinning and spinning and spinning
if we could just sit and watch the sky from dawn till dusk and then till dawn again
wanting the silence and the night to take us away, with only our own solitude for company
understanding that merely being in the presence is more than enough, with no need for cheap words or forced laughter
always remember
always recognise
always understand
what's truly important, and what's not
inconsistencies being the only consistency, ignoring the parts to look at the whole, or ignoring the whole to look at the parts
whichever way, eventually it is all the same. by Dan 3:10 AM

rough draft is an awesome song. yellowcard. yeah.differing priorities, and when they are not possible to be aligned. do you give them up, do you doggedly persist, or do you feign ignorance in the hope it will lie forever undisturbed in the mud and never cause trouble?
gotta wake up my idea.
打起精神来！
I’m finding my own words
my own little stage
my own epic drama
my own scripted page
and then
maybe I'll send you its rough draft by Dan 11:44 PM

down the street, the lonely homebound traveller begins his weary trek back home, the path empty and melancholic, save for the street lamps dashing the pavement in soft yellow brilliance.the court is empty, the hoop is silent. soft music playing in his plugs, he envisions the shot, the ball silently floating home under starless skies. another time, another day, perhaps.
and in the dead of the night, the silence embraces and envelopes him. away from the noise, away from the sounds, thoughts unfettered and uncompromising.
making the decision is hard. sticking with it is even harder.
i am sorry but we interrupt the post with somecomments on singapore's television scene.
lun. HOLY DAYS. says:
lol!
MARTIN YAN ON OKTO
WOW
MARTIN YAN IS SOME ANCIENT SHAT
HAHA. in other news, running feels good. a good run to sort out thoughts is always good. right then. i might get down, i might get out. but at the end of the day i am not going to lose. by Dan 10:54 PM
keane did a great job in naming their first album. it's a very apt phrase.
running out of juice. damn.
self-discipline.
I tried my best to be guarded.
But I'm an open book instead.
