how come the mid sem break passed by so soon!?!?! ok, granted that monday was spent in lalaland after too many drinks at the lawiv afterparty, the other 4 days so far have marched by and forgotten to sign in at HQ! I'm damn glad that there's no urgent assignment to hand in after the break, cos there's no way that i can make the transition from production rehearsal mode to muggermaniac mode so soon. stilll... there's chinese corp exam and islamic law research paper due in 3 weeks. Run for the hillssss!! went to the old campus today to try to fulfil the research aspect of the research paper and felt so old but also rather out of place cos in some undefinable way, the btc folk atop our ivory hill just look and act differently. of course i'm not assessing the tiongers' standards, but slug to snail, we're just not the same. must have been evolution after being booted out of the west and being subject to Summit food over the years. anyway the curtains have fallen gracefully on "the perfect wedding" and i'm happy to report a successful production. but now that we no longer have to dance those same dances day in day out, nor hide backstage or wait in the audi for our rehearsals, there is a sense of emptiness and lack of direction in life. i guess "at the end of the day, we can turn around and say, This is what Love is..."

the air conditioning in my room is getting cold. i wish i had my old blue fuzzy bedroom slippers to hide my feet into.
a few nights ago, i wished that i could round up some friends and eat supper on a whim in the holland v crystal jade restaurant. i didn't need the food, i just wanted to be there.
today i passed by that window on the 4th floor of pgp block 8, i wished that the past was a video store and i could just walk in and choose any part i wanted to replay.
and then there was that route from the old school, guild house, kr, pgp. taken many times, by many people.
events have unfolded that i wish didn't taunt me in the face; they'll still be there even after i stop closing my eyes
i'm in a comfortable cocoon,
but i don't merely want to be content.

// vast expense of blue blue sea // docked up and going nowhere // the child in him going mad at the roskilde viking museum // the restored version of an original viking vessel // errrrm i'm assuming that this is a danish flag // the 3 jars in roskilde symbolizing life and death (then why are there 3 jars?) // at a picnic with the outgoing exchange students of KU // picnicing at the Christiana jetty //  fisheye effect // again, hello copenhagen //
 

time was of the essence many times today.

i'm an intern, yes, the kind that no one really speaks to or bothers with, so you can expect that the telephone on my desk is pretty much there for display. but a few moments ago when i was looking at it to figure out what the buttons and shortcuts are, it suddenly began to ring. this could be a new Heroes power; using force of mind to will people to call you (most suitable for loners and outcasts).

earlier in the day, my nostalgic pinings came back to bite me in the face; i did get to revisit my much missed holidaying experience, but it was in the form of reliving london underground delays! the blardy mrt service cocked up again this morning and it took me 45min to get from my station to raffles place aka double the time. scores of annoyed worker ants were thus trapped in the carriages in the middle of the tracks with bad ventilation and an overly-enthusiastic voice recording telling us "We apologise for any inconvenience caused". who is this "We" you speak of, and no, i do not want an apology from you, your disembodied voice brethren or the rest of the train parts; your sincere apology does not make me any less late for work! at the subsequent stations we passed through, there wld be occasional announcements saying that "the train might be crowded due to an earlier technical fault". hell yeah i can see, feel and SMELL that the train is crowded... not just that, the driver refused to close the doors for the longest time, thereby further delaying us and further taunting the frustrated people left standing on the platform after they failed to find any available crevice to squeeze themselves into. well done train company; this really justifies your constant fare hikes. i just read that a new bus service 128 will run alongside the train routes come this july 7 so as to ease the morning crunch. on paper it sounds like quite a clever solution, but if technical faults continue to plague us or if the bus comes once in a few blue moons, then there's really no point.

ppffttt... i'd also rant abt how my workload is unevenly spread, abt moratorium and pupillage application, abt not having the time to go jogging after work, abt expensive plane tickets to nearby places, abt waking up early, abt some idiots who pretend they i haven't told them things though i obviously did before, abt getting older next week and more. but i have no more energy to write so much.
