The countdown

My working schedule is at it's tightest right now. With so many events and performances, I hardly have time for myself let alone my friends.

I really want to ORD quick but it's going to be a tough and tiring 3 months before I am released off from this ghastly vocation.

I want a break...wait no...I want another break for the sake of my health.

Countdown to ORD - 120 long hard days

POP again

Well I'm blogging again...

It's raining slot recently...very good for running. That is when the rain stop.

Lately I have been on this training regime and I hope I can adhere to it

Over a cuppa

Sipping a cuppa and lighting up a fag (as in cigarettes, I've yet to reach a point of setting a person on fire) may well be one of my quiet moments. I like these quiet moments because its times like these that I can really sit down without distractions to clear my mind of some bothering issues and find myself again.

And its times like this that I will indulge in emo-ing at my own will. The thing about emo-ing is that it shouldn't be done on excess, just the right amount. And also at time whereby it wouldn't affect your daily life.

Emo-ing tells us that we are human and that we still feel emotionally helpless. But doing it in excess prompts people to avoid you. And yes, regularly updating your Facebook status with emo status just hints your friends to block you.

The need to go on a vacation have never felt so strong before. Glenn and I have been talking about this ever since last year. We plan to do a short trip over the weekends to a nearby country just to relax. We call it our "ORD Trip" just so that we don't feel too vicarious about it.

I always enjoy travelling with friends more than parents. Because when you travel with friends, there are little to no restrictions at all.

On to another topic...

Recently I've drinking alot more coffee than usual. I'm usually a tea person(good old Earl grey is my usual choice) so coffee is usually not my thing. I've been gurgling alot of Mcds coffee alot for the past few nights. I have a way of drinking the coffee, which is to add the soft serve ice cream that McDs sell. Even though the taste is nowhere close to what my friend's cafe use to serve but at least it's better than the bullshit they serve in coffee shop

I can really relate to the taste of the coffee - bittersweet, smooth vanilla cream and then the robust taste of the coffee comes later. Sometimes its abit sour, giving it more depth and characteristics. It's not something alot of people would come to appreciate, especially the coffee connoisseur. They would most likely think this coffee is bull.

But hey, the coffee is as good as a blue mountain for that price of $1.85. It's a very extreme opinion, either you like it or you hate it.

Your taste in coffee says alot about your personality though. You may like Kopi Luwak (a type of coffee that has went through the digestive tract of a ferret, basically you are drinking someone else's shit) or you like the extreme taste of a robusta coffee.

Okay, that was totally bull I think.

Try to sleep...

发现最近我的心情经常有起起落落的现象，有一种像是坐上"Reverse Bungy"的感觉，弄到正个人都无精打采。喜怒哀乐也因此转变的特别快。加上最近天气不是连连豪雨就是熊熊太阳，把身体搞得乱七八糟最后生了一场小病。难免有点雪上加霜。

时间也在不知不觉中过得特别快，一转眼又到了年底，又到了庆祝佳节的时候。真的是岁月不留人。再过几天就是我的生日了，也不知要如和庆祝。可能在这二十年来就没有习惯庆祝自己的生日，到了现在也不会要怎样去庆祝。

自己不曾喜欢派对，所以不会去举办一个。想找几个知己好友做东请吃饭也没钱请，叫他们自己还钱也感到有点寒酸。真的是左右为难，看来还是不要庆祝好了。自己一个人留在家做自己想做的事情，不理大来的电话也不回复寄来的贺礼简讯，自私的过这一天也不是个坏注意。

The Last Post 09'

It's the time of the year again for all of us to transit into a new year. I'm sure alot of you guys were out partying. I'm here at home, sitting in front of my laptop blogging away. I refuse to go out because it's going to be crowded anywhere in town a d transportation home later is going to be such bitch. I still remember waiting for 1 and a half hour for my bus to get home. So I'm taking this opportunity to just stay at home to reflect on the past year.

I would say the past year had been a bitersweet year for me. Lots of things happened. But nonetheless, I felt these events were necessary.

This year, I successfully completed my training in Police and got into a vocation I wanted. I have made A few friends these year, some worth keeping and some worth loving and the rest...let's just say we have a huge difference in mindset.

This year I participated in my very first National Day Parade. I would say that it's an experience that I would never trade anything for. And I'm privilege enough to be part of it again next year. But then again, no one gives a shit about the band since it's always about those Guard of Honor.

Seriously, and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the SAR21 way lighter that an alto saxophone. Moreover it's not like they needtk worry about pitching, embrochure and memorizing the freaking scores. I'm sure the band is able to do what those meatheads do I the parade and they will never be able to do what we do win just a few weeks of training.

I went through 2009 without a hint of mews from Cupid. That darn little baby totally forgotten about me I guess. But I'm glad at least I have great friends around me. If not without them I would not have even went through half the year.

They say "friends are siblings that we choose to have". And I agree, because sometime I wished I have brothers and sisters like them.

2010 will be the year I'll release off this ghastly vocation call National Service. But I know when I leave my office I will miss the few close friends I have made and the great people that I have met.

And again if not for them, NS would be a total torture. Sometimes I wished they were colleagues from the future office that I will work in. It'll be such a waste that I lose contact with th just because I left NS.

I felt that 09 had been a year whereby I grew so much. All thanks to NS, I have learnt that there are certain secrets are meant to be kept. And also because of NS, I've come to realize how low of a maintenance I can survive on.

It's such a wonder that 16 months ago I earn more than 1k a month and I was able to spend them all without any savings. Now, I'm barely earning half that amount and I was able to survive with my habits, my lifestyle and is still able to save a modest amount. But of course, I have to make some sacrifices and changes in order to adept to that.

In terms of relationship, I've learn from a few mistakes. Or rather from my friends' mistakes. But then again, I haven't been able to truly understand how is it like to love someone and have someone reciprocrate the same feelings back to me.

With 2010 just a few minutes from now, I really do wish that it would be a better year than 2009. I'm still looking for the person that will make my heart jump, for me to miss every night and for me to make sacrifices and changes for.

Happy New Year people... :)

When everything ended

October and the beginning of November had been crazy for me. October was packed with performances and the beginning of November was plagued with APEC. And thank God, all these had ended. I just hoped my December will be easy going. But I know that is never going to happen, since there is this year end concert going on with the SAF Band.

For this, I don't hope for much. I don't even care if they let me play in this concert or not. It'll be stressful to play for this covert anyway since the musicians there are mostly better than me.

My birthday is roughly 2 weeks away from today and seriously I've no idea whatsoever what to do on my birthday. And even if there is going to be one, it going to be a small and private event.

I'm not too sure about the festive seasons, but it don't seem to festive to me or rather that is just what I feel about it. I thinn the main reason for that is because I'm in NS and the yer end concert don't quite care about the festive seasons.

Everybody thinks that the band is easy job, but it's a tiring and stressful job. While everyone is enjoying their holidays, we are there preparing ourselves to entetain in private events. And when it's time for our break, they are all working and slogging their lives away.

I now currently into this superb TVB serial call "宫心记". Its a show set in the Qing Dynasty and depicts the silent and vicious fight between the palace maids, concubines and the empresses. It's very "大长今＂but with better costumes and a whole lot bitching between the casts.
