me and my stories.

i woke up grouchy today. There was a silly bird, which kept making high pitched noises ( and it kept getting HIGHER PITCHED) all morning since 7 am. I tossed and turned and i got fed up. It super pissed me off. Apologies to the bf who had to put up with my tone over the phone.

Went running. Felt good after. And then i did my usual routine in the room.

I just read a friend’s blog. She’s getting engaged later next month. I wish you the best, my dear.

Everyone is getting engaged or married next year.Such a big step in life. My bf said that every 12 years according to the Chinese Calender, something big will happen to you - like a turn of events.

And i guess for me, the big turn of events would be going back to school.

And i’m really quite glad cos this new change, this new environment, the new challenges…this is what i need to make myself a better person.

For now, work and holidays. Thats all i’m doing.

i got my wisdom tooth out today. Surgery was alright except that the third injection was a bitch. And then the next few hours, it felt like i was to face from batman movie - half normal, and the other half bloated.

anyway, post surgery has been okay except i realise how i had been given ponstan as painkiller. That has never worked for me at all. So u can imagine the hell i am in now. I might be off to get another painkiller tomorrow, something that WORKS.

Mum and Dad are returning tomorrow from Malaysia…after like a month! Quite excited. Ernie too, will be back for a short while, before she embarks on her trip to Aussie.

And i can’t wait for all this pain to go away, for everything to heal.

I can’t wait to get my ass back at work, i can’t wait for my holiday.

for now, back to reading…

Yesterday, i found my modest mouse track in one of the cds lying in my room. Love this song.

The man whose face fronted the Cancer videoclip thingy passed on yesterday. He was the fella from the Hospice who decide to make his own videos and share his last few days with the world. I saw some clips on lifebeforedeath.org quite some time ago when it initially came out on the papers and i must say, i salute his bravery. Then i didn’t log on till early today when i read about his death in the papers.

Its very sad, really. But, I’m sure God’s with him in a better place now.

On another note, tomorrow marks the death anniversary of my late grandfather. I woke up this morning thinking about him, and i initially checked the date. 21st November. Did he pass away today? Or was it tomorrow?

My sister confirmed it. Tomorrow.

You know i never really talk much about my late grandfather but i loved him for being the strong silent man he was. We rarely spoke, because i really couldn;t understand him but it was the efforts he made for us that was worth more than everything else in this world. He would visit me and my family every month. And it was a nice feeling. A great feeling to know that I am not alone, and it reminds me that i do have a bigger extended family.

I just never grew up around them. Singapore, for most of my life, revolved around my two big sisters, my younger brother and Mum and Dad.

I miss my grandfather anyway.

i have exactly one more week before i undergo the dreaded wisdom tooth surgery.

it has stopped hurting , miraculously, days before today’s appointment but i figure that i might as well get it out before it spoils my holiday in December.

And speaking of holidays, i can’t wait for 9th December!!! I’ll be outtttt of this country and lazing by the pool. I’ll be waking up to hotel breakfasts, and best of all, in a bloody foreign country. Not far off, but good enough.

For now, worrrrrk worrrrk worrrrk. I’ve been so busy that i haven’t had a social life for a week.

i’ve decided to upload my photo album in friendster. There are some of the pics of our Radio913 launch, and some pics of my own friends too.

Yesterday was my first trip down to Botak Jones. Me and my other half had planned to go there for months already but we were

1. damn busy

2. fasting

3. just damn damn damn busy

and we finally made it yesterday, and i think it was not too bad. I had steak, he had the huge ass burger, the one with three patties and a whole lot of cheese. We ate only two dishes but its enough to last us for almost….two days!

Anyway today will be a trip down to Vivocity to see the floating bookstore! Yay! More books!

And this coming week will be a long and tiring one. Booked for every single day except tomorrow.

Must work and must save money.

Honestly speaking, for some reason i can’t wait to go back to school.

went to Cathay Cineplex to catch another movie with the honeybuns today..

T H E SINKING of JaPAn.

me thinks:

this is a must see. Its a Japanese documentary/film which is makes you wonder more about what goes on below us. I never knew that this movie was based on a book written by Sakyo Komatsu written way back in the early 70s. But yes, that aside, the movie is very realistic indeed.

So the main plot of the movie starts when American geologist researchers discovers that the islands of Japan would sink in less than three years. Then after a filed study, a Japanese researcher discovered that tha truth was far more scary than imagined - the islands would sink in less than a year.

And so the whole ‘doomsday’ process begins with volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes etc etc. One by one, whole islands are swallowed up and people and dragged down by forces of Mother Nature. And while all this is happening, the Japanese geologist discovers a way to top the Islands from sinking, which was to plant nuclear bombs and break of the ‘plate’ on which the country was resting on.

So that is one main plot of the movie, of course in between, you’ll get weepy-eyed by looking at the firefighhter gf and deep sea pilot bf who fall in love.

There were sparks flying between them (literally!!!) but yeah the love story trancends the deep.

(you’ll get THAT pun once you’ve watched the film)

but yes, watch this film, cos its a very realistic film, not horror-based -as compared to Jap movies in the last 4 yrs.

Also, you’ll be able to relate to the film, since SIngapore is surrounded by water, so what if this happens to us?

Its a scary thought indeed.

so the movie gets 4 out of 5 stars - great effects, good plot and good acting.

that’s it!!

If you haven’t been reading my blog, one of my faithful listeners Lupin says that Covenent is also a waste of time.

L U P I N says :

"do not attempt to watch "The Covenent" too. Too B rated, slow paced and reminded me of Street Fighter."

There are a lot of good movies out this month. I wanna watch the gay one, can’t remember the flick’s name but i recall the poster of two men doing some piggyback in a field of sunflowers (?!) and then the cartoon ones like Happy Feet and Open Season….must also watch the movie A Good Year cos the trailer like quite shiok.

quite a lot of good stuff but my mind’s slipping on all the titles…

good sunday morning to you.

watched the press screening for Joni’s Promise aka JanJi JoNi earlier. It’s a movie in Bahasa Indonesia and its is very interetsing. I’ve always been a fan of foreign films but this one is the first INdon film i;ve caught in the cinema.

And it didn’t have any weepy scenes at all. I was quite sure that somewhere along the show, one scene would be of sadness/death/long speech before dying/etc but i was pleasantly surprised. It had a very happy go lucky vibe.

And the actor was cute. DAMN RIGHT.

the chick was cute as hell too. She had the typical petite and sweet as hell angelic looks. Would bring any man to his knees.

I liked the movie. :)  Go watch it peeps.

And talking about movies, please do not attempt to even watch the trailer for JuOn2 or Grudge 2. It’s rather disappointing. I watched the screening for it last week and even though it had its fair share of scary scenes, i felt that it didn’t do justice for the the original flick. Which wasn’t that bad.

Then again, maybe the original was scary cos i didn’t understand it at all - it was in Jap eh?

things to do over the weekend -          r e v a m p

yesterday a very close friend of mine called me up during his lunch break and asked where i was.

my reply was short and simple - work.

and he started whining.

" why are u always busy, sab?"

"why are u always busy when everyone else isn’t"

and it got me thinking from yesterday night until this morning when i got out of bed.

what am i working so hard for. i’m missing out on quite a few things. i haven’t met my friends, i’m ashamed to say that i’ve neglected some of them even. i haven’t met sonia, or keidi. I ahven’t seen eunice since she got back from aussie. I haven’t talked to aaron, arthur or mark personally, and these guys were impt to me at some point of time. I haven’t even talked to Faye.

and as much as i know how they might be leading their own lives and perhaps not even have the time to hang out with me, i’m still wondering.

what’s wrong with me. Why do i have to keep running around. I’ve been running and running all the time, all my life ( well at least for the past 4 years anyway ) and i’m so tired.

cos i’ve realise after all the wild goose chase, i haven’t got anything substancial to even call my own.

today is bad mood and pms day.

hopw work will be allright later.

sabby.
