Oh Crap! Forgot the biggest event of recent to blog about. Pap-pa-da-dah! Epiphany NTU English and Drama Society in collaboration with NIE presents Introspection 08. It was a blast! Everything went well. Almost everything, but its all done, I'm not gonna bitch about em and i'm pleased. I'm fuckin freeeee! No, u can't call me fruitcake anymore. It's unjustifiable. I will miss my black heaven but alas...it had to end some time. I will miss doing the things that the heightened point of view allowed, and the crappy conversations on the cans system...whispering nothingness to my fellow compatriates in techdom.
I love the expression the cast had when we put up the posters at curtain call. It was freakin hilarious. Them replying was unexpected and made me feel guilty for laughing at them. I need to stop being such a mr nice guy, u noe wat i mean? Nahh...u won't. I will miss them all, cast, crew, even the usherers whom I met only 2 days before the show. And I forgot to thank one person in my post production credits, Mr Colin our tech adviser, he's my freakin idol. If I could have his job, I would be in utter bliss. The money helps too. ;op

I walk along the tunnel to the train station, against the current of commuters in their formal wear,like an infinite school of salmon running upstream to their mating waters. There's a rush of exhilaration in moving against them, a sort of rebellion, like the effect of rock'n'roll had back in the day which seems amiss in the music of today. If I could only wander into the minds of each, what would they be thinking at this very moment...
"I'm gonna be late."
"The proposal's not done. The Boss is gonna kill me."
"Damn this shoes' are tight."
"Does this skirt make my ass look big?"
"Get out of my way, Lady. If you're pregnant, stay home."
"Did i turn off the stove? God tell me I turned off the stove."
"Can i get some fries with that shake? Yow-zah!"
"Get out of my way!"
"What are you looking at, punk-ass kid?"
I could only smile. It is a similar sight at the escalators. I can't help but glance across to the other side where the escalator was weighted down by similar salmon, now resembling more like a chopper full of army men just waiting to jump off at the end and parachute themselves to the ticket gantry.
At the back of my mind I know that in a few years time, I might join this throng of mindless zombies in their endless pursuit for financial freedom. Is that my fate? I've always hoped for greater things but doesn't everyone hope for that. Am I a societal norm or the deviant that I make out to be? The fork in the road is here. All I need to do is choose.

Of old friends and new...

Last week was a short week... but ended up as a long one...and the next wont be much help. Rehearsals and a wake up call that is mid-terms next week. What have I been doing this whole semester...I truly do not know. Supposed to be mugging more this sem...Highlights of the week were...hmm...valentines thursday and movie friday. The first spent chillin with S at vivo which ran far too short. Y would u be on standby on valentines...sheesh! None the less, caramel never tasted so sweet. The second was coincidentally spent with another S. Thanks da jie for the fun. Everybody go watch Juno. Its freakin hilarious. To summarise the plot, let's just say its about adults living in a world of kids. Watch it and you'll know what I mean. Seriously. And I agree, the soundtrack is a killer, in a good way. Anyways, 3 more days to production day. I can't say that it hasn't come soon enough. But i'm psyched. I love the theatre, what can i say? Damn I'm tired like hell. Week full of friends from various circles...Variety is truly the spice of life.
Quote of the week: "Either I just peed in my pants or.....Thundercats are Goooo!"
Advice of the week: "They won't go away if you ignore em...they'll just assume otherwise"
I'd like to end this entry with a thought - better ice cream than sardines ;op

Dude, how's school?
Lonely. How's the wife?
Went shopping with her sis...i'm guessing happy. Haha! Hows your go-go?
Everything is under control.
Dude, you have no job, no girlfriend and you live in fuckin Tampines. How is that under control?
Damn bro, I sure love it when you put my life in perspective.
You should...

With friends like these...pt II

Entering the vessel, she scans right to left, right to left, at every seat an every passenger. Her facial expression seems to suggest a search of competition. Right, Left, Right, Left in such methodical frequency that you could swear she was a robot. But alas, she is merely looking for a familiar for company on the ride to the port. Having failed her objective, she attaches to a seat, not here nor there and scans her communication device for alternative source of amusement. Upon reaching the port, despite her attire, her unsteady walk betrays her lack of feminity....- and that was how boring my Thursday was. Seriously....but the girl was kinda cute though. ;op
