gone going gone

couldn't sleep last night!! arghhh..saw some stuffs than kept me awake longer than i should.and i'm sure those stuffs were not meant for me to see either.but yea anyways..

i have a competition with nichola to see who can write a longer post!haha..i'm sure i could win but..but i feel so tired today.and today..today i dont feel like telling the whole world what's happening in my life..tell the world how i'm feeling..and tell the world everything and anything about me.

i feel so exposed and vulnerable all of a sudden.

how i made my millions

this song..this song just thugs at my heartstrings..

Radiohead - How I Made My Millions


i booked out yesterday afternoon and havent been doing anything productive so far..i started on harry potter last night and read till page 90..i shall continue on later after this.haha.

so anyways i was clearing up some stuff on my table in my room and i found a whole stack of about a hundred piano scores that i so passionately collected in my JC days to play..i've never learnt to play the piano but i had about 14 years of electone(keyboard) background so well it wasn't too hard to pick it up. you might be thinking that the piano and keyboard's kinda similar and that the only difference was that one had two levels and one had one..well i thought so too but until i started on playing classical and contempo piano songs on the keyboard did i realize how different they were..different styles..different scales..different emphasis.

so yes it took me quite a while to pick it up but i did so eventually in a couple of weeks and soon i was off to printing and photocopying my favourite coldplay, radiohead, etc piano pieces to play at home..i tried one classical piece..moonlight sonata first movement and it was quite a joy to hear yourself playing such a sweet piece.

so yes! back to what i was saying..i found a stack of these almost-forgotten pieces and played them for a while just now;)feels really nice to know i haven't really lost my touch after so long in the army..and yea i played "how i made my millions" and "fog" and a couple more before i stopped.

sometimes i feel that people(including myself) read too much between the lines..they imagine up stuff..imagine that there's some meaning to this all when there isnt actually..because well we all want to have that sense of security yes? we all want to feel that we are worth more than we really are..we want to feel important..useful and appreciated. i found a perfect example to illustrate this point..there's this song called "karma police" by radiohead and it seems to be so deep..so full of meanings and thoughts and what..people were interpreting it like mad coming up with all the different theories as to why thom yorke wrote this song and what message he was trying to put across.finally when they did ask him personally what the song meant..his reply was - "nothing..it was just putting together a bunch of words that sounded nice together" it's hilarious.i can imagine the looks on those people's faces.

likewise for this song i went online to search out the "meaning" of this song and there were a million versions as to what the song truly meant.

i usually listen to the songs i like not so much for the meaning of it..but for the ~music~ if you know what i mean.and i'm gonna continue doing so.ha.

okay i just saw this pic on the net and i thought it was cute.HA.talk about multi-tasking huh.haha.



well life for me in the next few weeks is gonna be quite easy and realxed..i'm starting to enjoy the life maaaan.haha.i've got the army half marathon race next sun and boy am i scared..freaking scared..i have race day nerves if you know what i mean..it's like 21km! you screw up the first 5km and it's gonna be pure torture the whole way.argghhhhh! okay shan't think about it anymore..plus plus we have to wake up at 3am to get ready cause the race starts at 5.30am.talk about early man.it's mother-early.ha.okok don;t think about it anymore!

tomorrow i'm gonna send my foxtrot friends off for their very exciting trip to brunei.and bloody hell they had to make it 2330hours.how to go home huh?huh?huh? so inconsiderate never think of the people sending them off..i can see my money flying awayyy.haha.prolly share with DJ and nichola if they're there..unless they've got other plans..bbut knowing me i would rather just sleep.haha.well before that i would be going to my first ever party in a long long long time.it's not one of those parties at the clubs or what..it's a real party..like in a function room thingy..okay i'm not very sure what's it gonna be also but it's at the legend along bukit timah there..yaa..it's for ness's farewell party..she's organising and i'm invited=)))haha i should be man i mean i've know her since we were pri 4..that makes it 9 years boy.wow.ha.

okay i just remembered i wanted to put this pic up a long time ago too..pic of my good old sierra friends.ha.

baby did you take your meds? / my mojito

as you can tell i can't decide what the title of my post should be..so yea..haha.




ok a mojito is a drink..i know it sounds vulgar but yea it's this new drink i discovered in timbre on wed night.haha.check it out if you don't believe me.haha - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojito

so yea! i went to timbre for the first time (i know i'm lagging stop laughing!) on wed night and it was quite fun! pity i don't have any photos to put up. i really like the atmosphere and the music..so much better than the usual stuff like zouk, mos, double o..blah blah blah..my army friends have been bugging me to go along with them for the longest time to club or pub every weekend, inclusive of this particular wed too.but yea i didnt want to.you know why? i don't really want to be associated with a bunch of testosterone-filled army boys.HAHA.sorry yea but thats the truth.haha.anyway i had this feeling that i would meet someone i knew over there(besides my friends, of course) and i did!!haha.so weird.plus they were on the table next to mine!haha.i looked around and there they were..esther and anthea's usual bunch of cj friends.well they're all one year younger than me but i recognized them and i think they recognized me too.well i know anthea and esther from track so yea..but esther wasn't there, though she messaged me a short while later to say she WAS supposed to be there.haha.pity huh..talked to anthea later outside timbre for a while after all her friends left.and i just realized..that was the longest conversation i ever had with her so far.ha.well i wouldn't mind talking to her more though.haha.

floating on clouds

many people would sooner die than think; in fact they do so.

i admit i'm like that most of the time too. my buddy here..he's such an intellect and academic.plus he's an all-rounder who can do everything and anything.i feel so small and insignificant next to him but i also thank god he's my buddy cause he comes in real handy.HA.

well he has made me face the stark reality that i do not think as much as i should..or at least not as much as he does. i've such a simple way of thinking it makes me wonder how i got through life so far.ha.seriously!

i have decided that from now on i shall be more intellectual..wondering why and how things work and if they don't, how i can make them work.ha.i shall..i will.i hope.HAHA.

today was the closest so far that i've managed to try to get a ride up to the moon.sat on a chopper and floated on the clouds!haha.feels real gooooood=)

believe it or not

i'll never die for my beliefs; because i might be wrong.

how would you know if what you believe in is really truly essentially what you may be trying to believe in?

i read this quote and thought to myself that yea although some things may seem worth dying for..we may die in vain for it.

ever wondered how our thinking is so manipulated and affected by societal norms restrictions and whatnot. what ever happened to our freedom to believe in whatever we want? i guess that freedom's been void the day we sold our souls away.

besides that..have a great day ahead!haha.enjoy this song=)
