1) I have a fringe. I had a fringe when I was 8 and it seems that long hair's actually quite fun to keep, even if my perception of long is the same as buzzcut to Rapunzel. Probably will get busted tommorow.
2) Found tim seow's and bensoh-'s friend's wonderful film about lvoe while clearing up my old comp. Yea that's the title, A Film About Lvoe, a 8 min long epic about a leading male typing to a leading female "gimme a sex" instead of "sec" on msn and the ensuing chaos (co starring lele eating, michelle/cassandra in cedar uniforms and charles, darren and moi in drag. nah kidding.) The film's so bad it's absoultely amazing. (Tim Seow saves the film from B grade hell though, seriously.)
3) At night, everything looks better.
4) Only now have I truly tasted the sweet satisfaction of work completed via unadulterated focus and faith that the light at the end of the tunnel's not the incoming train. World Lit, IOC done and dusted at the cost of 7 hours of sleep in 3 days. It had a slightly sour edge due to the fact that the work was procrastinated work, but the aroma of warm maple syrup drizzled over fresh, piping hot pancakes was unmistakable as "This is the end of the Oral Commentary" was pronounced.
5) Highlander with schoolmates yesterday was mad fun. A part due to item no. 4. The music, company and drinks were all good. Fong's drunkedness was the single most amazing thing I've seen in months. "I want to go home...with JJ." Fat blonde's reaction to Fong's drunkedness at the taxi stand a close second.
6) The school's recent appreciation of marvel vs capcom is endearing, amusing, and weird all at the same time. I know none of this interest will last beyond two weeks, no one's really taking it that seriously, and frankly we've all got better things to worry about than connecting an air combo. But, it has been extremely fun teaching people how to play and to see their geniune interest, albeit for 5 mins , in getting good at a genre of games that nobody but a few care about.
7) I have never been able to answer 'what's your favourite food?' because I think it really depends. I'd love a huge bratwurst with grilled onions, ketchup and mustard any day, except after spending say three months in Germany living in a dingy, one room apartment above a bratwurst shop in which the ventilation for your place and the kitchen is one and the same. Too much of a good thing kills I guess. Still I can always appreciate a good steak. It's the only thing that I really eat slowly, so I can enjoy each cut and contemplate the flavourful juices locked in. Haven't really found affinity with the "take a cow, kill it, place it over a lighter for three min and haul it on my plate" type of rare steaks though. Sigh.
8) Contemplating steak is bordering on the gay.
9) I feel my faith in God growing stronger day by day. It's all good, and I mean I don't wanna preach or trumpet it all out, but when you get closer to Him, man your life's taken care of. I'm not one who likes to sit around doing nothing, and waiting for something to happen, but I guess sometimes you really need to have self - control and submit. I'm still learning though.
10) Kaela Kimura. I've never been into Jap music much, maybe the occasional X Japan record, but nothing serious, much lest the whole Jap female idol thingy. But for the sake of everything cherubic on this earth, how do you describe someone like this? Damn. Watch this video please, and well other videos. If she's not as awesome to you as I think she is, ah well. haha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIFU2eCWmGE
11) I wanna get a regular gig in some club, jazz bar or something. There's something about being a session musician, or a permanent one in the night scene that's undescribable, alluring, and just all out appealing, which is what I can say for no. 10 as well, but I digress. After IB I hope to get a good horn, metal (jazz) mouthpieces and take lessons to refine my technique, get to know people in the industry. This may well set me back thousands though, so I'm gonna try saving up as much cash as I can, including my army pay (yea right) and hopefully get my own instrument by june next year. That's insane though, but I guess you need to spent a fair bit of money to get get a good sax, innuendo not intended.
12) Mr. Chirnside gave me an amazing suggestion for my future education the other day. I know I wanna become a journalist or at least for the first few years of my working life (may go into business or sth later), but so far I haven't been able to find good Unis offering journalism, besides UCLA and I don't know if I want to study mass com. Also doing pretty well for history last year, doing my EE in history and me hoping to do well for history this year, I do feel like I wanna take my learning of this discipline to a higher level. So I was telling him how I'm applying for the SPH scholarship (4 year bond for singapore unis, 6 for overseas) where you can study anything, but you gotta come back to work for SPH after that yada yada, so he said why not study history while you're at it? That sounds awesome, so awesome that I wonder why I haven't thought about it before. Sniff.
13) Time flies. House flies.
14) I've crossed my fingers, my brow, my eyes and my heart, hope to die. Here's to Saturday.
15) Joe Morrison and the gang, sounds so different. Maybe I need to start accepting change, and recognizing the benefits that change brings, but I miss John Dykes, Andrew Leci and the gang. No homo.
16) I really, really want to do well in French. It's more than an academic pursuit now, it's like the advent to a new culture, language and outlook on life. I haven't been taken it as seriously as I had Chinese and all in its heyday and I hope there's still time. :(
17) Watching Prison Break Season 2 faithfully every week since the beginning is so gratifying, namely because I had to wait a week for it. In the age where you can get past seasons, present seasons, and even seasons they haven't even made on the internet, it felt good, although a little stupid and old fashioned, to catch a series in all it's serial glory.
18) woohoo 18. The novelty still hasn't worn off. It's pathethic how happy and eager I am to whip out my ID nowadays. hahahaha
