At the Singapore Biennale 2008

It's been almost a year that I have remained silent here, much have happened but little have changed.

At times it felt like "life" is just going around in circles.

I would need more time to come back around with my catharsis, but "life" as it is now have been stable - yet change is always looming in the horizon.




The Biennale is spread across the island, find time to go see what some brilliant / twisted mind have created. The whole spread at only S$10 for the whole period of Sept till Nov 11, it's worth the S$10.

Limbo

Being competitive is supposed to move one forward
But lately time seem to be hung

Like the clock on my wall months after the battery died out and stopped ticking

New issues seem to crop up out of nowhere whenever things begin to looked better
And I seem to be always confronted with similar issues
Perhaps I need to look inside
But I seem to be blind that way

How is it that something that you have lived with all your life can also be a barrier

My distractions are keeping me procrastinated from a solution
I need to move

Blessings

Never was one to count my blessing
and after awhile just plain forgot.

Just been acquainted with Facebook
and realised how big my circle of friend have grown.

These days, I'm just lost in my happy book
Both the pulp version and the one where
a new phrase - Pokebuddy got birth.

Weekend away - end Sept

Trip away to Bintan
Be away for awhile

Get a nice tan
Drown in vodka
Laugh out loud
Sleep light-headed

Bond a little
Share a secret

Order room service
Play some games
Vodka all around

September can be a little hard
until it ends

Wake me up when September ends - Green Day

Friday, Sept 21

Last Friday was one of those milestone juncture.
It's been a few years getting to this day.

I had my whole day planned (or so I'd like to think)
Good thing I took the day off from work.

What gives... the beginning of second chances, new experiences, knowledge and constant changes.

I would say the day started off quite well, though I was a little blur when I was trying to figure out where I was supposed to be, then there was the guard that took my camera - he was smelling like a very wet sock. This early in the morning?? I could have hurled.

The morning was over in a matter of minutes.

Met up with a close friend - someone who's not afraid to tell me I'm an idiot for something I did not put much thought into, but put into action anyway. She did not specifically say those words cause she just had an operation to remove her tooth, but it was written on paper for prosperity nonetheless. Looking at the piece of paper she scribbled on, with the words "You r an idiot" I could tell that she's been talking ...

I should put some thought into getting some passive income already.

At 2pm I was at a lawyer's office that told me I should spend my money elsewhere, by 4pm I've got myself another lawyer.

10.30pm Ms KK was passing my mobile number to someone in Bellini.

3am I head home with enough vodka to last me the whole Saturday.

Now, I have to run and buy moon cakes for my Halal colleagues for tomorrow's party at the office.

Love

Have you ever been in love?

Horrible isn't it?
It makes you so vulnerable.
It opens your chest and it opens up your heart
and it means that someone can get inside you
and mess you up.

You build up all these defenses,
you build up a whole suit of armor,
so that nothing can hurt you,
then one stupid person,
no different from any other stupid person,
wanders into your stupid life...

You give them a piece of you.

They didn't ask for it.
They did something dumb one day,
like smile at you,
and then your life isn't your own anymore.

Love takes hostages.
It gets inside you.
It eats you out
and leaves you crying in the darkness,
so simple a phrase like
'maybe we should be just friends'
turns into a glass splinter
working its way into your heart.
It hurts.

Not just in the imagination.
Not just in the mind.
It's a soul-hurt,
a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.

- Neil Gaiman

Your Score: colon
You scored 38% Sociability and 35% Sophistication!

It doesn't bother you when people make anatomical jokes about you, because you're laughing right along with them. True, you cannot be called gregarious, but within your domain you're secure for a very simple reason: you know that nothing can ever replace you. You have a quiet confidence, and a love of simplicity. You should be a bit leery around the dash.

Serendipity

Ever had that feeling that someone is within close proximity?
Ever felt the proximity of your soul mate?
The kind of feeling that makes you look around.

It is good that mobile phones and SMS are invented,
just so you could be sure...

Really needed to get away

Papers were signed.

Sold!

Time to go away...
I'll just get lost for awhile.

Things would still be a constant,
I might have created a mess
"things" still do sort themselves out
with or without my involvement.

Then I'll be back
and it'll be just like I left it.

I need to sort this out.
But it feel so pointless
to put so much thought into it.

I need a new MacBook
and a new pair of eyes.
