| 8:49 pm | I've been roaming around Always looking down at all I see Painted faces fill the places I can't reach You know that I could use somebody You know that I could use somebody Someone like you And all you know And how you speak Countless lovers undercover of the street You know that I could use somebody You know that I could use somebody Someone like you Off in the night While you live it up I'm off to sleep Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat I hope it's gonna make you notice I hope it's gonna make you notice Someone like me Someone like me Someone like me Somebody |

| 3:47 pm | Hello! I've decided to usher in the new year with a new post to revive the spirit of this long-forgotten diary. Some updates on my life; School: Sem 1 down, did alright i guess, not as bad as i expected. bring on sem 2.. Personal life: Future looks bleak with the economic recession already in bloom. asian countries feeling the pinch with fresh graduates in japan having to scour newspaper adverts for job openings. sad.. PLEASE LET THE WORLD BE BETTER IN 2012. Other personal life: erm, she's awesome. Oh yeah. New year resolutions? Try to update this blog more often perhaps? Be a more sensitive and sensible human being instead of an evil corrupted alien? Attempt to focus on school and sort out my priorities in case of regret Finish the dozens of books I've started reading but stopped halfway Embrace life and live it how it should be: full-blooded and exhilarating happy 2009 guys. |

| 9:03 pm | she sits alone by the beach at night wishing that the world could just understand when things are not going right but she couldn't find a friend she never lets me in and only tells me about what she did in school today I say that I don't care but I let her see that I don't want her to run away When it feels like everything we could ever be is nothing more than how it is God, you gotta help me fly away And just... Let her cry..if the tears fall down like rain Let her sing...if it eases all her pain Let her go...let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let her be...let her be. yesterday she tried to leave, and she brought me down to my knees She said there was nothing left to say, and she's gotta go her own way.. I cried myself to sleep that night I try to tell myself it'll all be okay In my mind i know i gotta give it up cos it seems all i do is not enough She and me, we're too much the same we've gotta stop playing this stupid game I need someone to hold my hand, As I, Let her cry..if the tears fall down like rain Let her sing...if it eases all her pain Let her go...let her walk right out on me And if the sun comes up tomorrow Let her be...let her be. --------------------- |

| 12:12 am | hai its been weeks since my last spanish lesson. yo no hablo espanol. hay hace no bien con ingles estas dias. tt was supposed to say: i dun speak spanish. it is no good with english these days. okla in memory of my much revered spanish tutor mr david ramirez, i will share some anecdotes from him to whoever's reading this. If any of you guys have heard the band Buena Vista Social Club, then you'd be interested in this. This band got its name because it WAS a club. It was a social club in Havana, Cuba in the 40s. They primarily played a genre of music called Son, which is an Afro-Cuban musical style. due to its overwhelming popularity, this Son music became sort of the bedrock of all Cuban music. Cubans during that time(pre revolution) were pretty much at liberty to do whatever they pleased, and the musicians at buena vista social club played for the love of their music more than anything else. So that era was really a huge one for the cuba's music scene. That is, till the cuban revolution and castro's regime, which practically shut down all these clubs and social hangouts. So that saw the end of the popular buena vista social club. So the band now, is sort of a project, to continue the legacy of the son music of old cuba. Its nice, the music, even if you don't understand spanish. Very different from the spanish songs u might usually have listened to, which originates from Spain, and are very high tempo, like flamengo and rumba. Son music is slower and has a relaxing kinda mood. And really makes u feel as if u're in a social club in havana, listening to ibrahim ferrer and compay segundo performing on stage. go and youtube it or something. I personally recommend the songs candela and chan chan. Aha! Maybe on a later date I will talk about present day cuba! which is one of the few remaining communist states left in the world. The others, if i'm not mistaken are, N. korea, vietnam(?) and laos(?). China not anymore right? Oh well, shrugs. |

| 12:15 am | after bearing witness to some appalling standards of toilet cleanliness, i would like to propose a set of guidelines to follow the next time u visit the gents: Toilet Etiquette 101, by d.s 1. Observe the buffer-zone rule when using the urinals; respect the privacy of other toilet users and keep a urinal away. asshole. 2. Keep close to the urinal damnit. Its not that hard to get a stream of urine into a hole half ur body size is it? How ppl can get their damn pee on the floor really amazes me. bastards. 3. If you see a urinal flooded with a certain yellow fluid, use your brain. It means the drainage is choked. It can't be used. einsteins. 4. There are several contraptions built for the purpose of collecting your trash. The urinal is not one of them. Neither is the sink. doofus. 5. If you're gonna use the cubicles for peeing, then have the brains to life the seat cover up before you let go. If case you haven't noticed, its in the way of your pee stream. ninny. 6. stop throwing your phlegm all over the place. no, its not macho. AT ALL. bahh okla. have a nice day guys! |

| 11:06 pm | phew. glad tt's over with. i mean the tome of a book: count of monte cristo! ah 1300pages is really an accomplishment man. but the story is worth the read, definitely a page turner. revolves around the theme of revenge predominantly. but i find this count to be disturbingly sinister, and his character is a lil bit implausible to fathom. especially when he seems to play God, in that he appears to have the power to both create and destroy humans, all on his enormous amassed fortune of monte cristo of course. “There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness.” -edmond Dantes Only when you have truly despaired then can you attain and appreciate true happiness. “Until the day when God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words,—‘Wait and hope.’” -edmond Dantes Monte Cristo acknowledges that God is the only one who can decide fate. Humans, rather than taking God’s task into their own hands, ought to simply “wait and hope” that God does indeed eventually reward the good and punish the bad. |

| 6:36 pm | The Chateau d'If life appears to be at a standstill for once; stagnate and static, with each night only bringing with it the gloomy realization that the next morning will be a repeat of today. No no I'm not held captive in a cell, unlike some people. But the feeling you get when you're idle and not doing anything productive, or worthwhile, makes you wallow in self-pity. When the soul wants to fly and accomplish things exciting and great, but the body and the mind refuses, this raging conflict within the self is enough to tear one apart. (Holy shit, i even forgot what day it is) In light of these somewhat tragic state of events, I hope things will go back to the status quo ante asap. While i am not wont to be patronizing when speaking with respect to one's own self, this has called for serious self-reflection. (Do you yield then? - sir, a man on a mission does not abandon his principles at the first hint of adversity. you told me this yourself) (Oh man, please stop this hallucinations..) What if this is as good as it gets..? |

| 1:11 am | on the path to self-discovery Life is temporary, and it could be taken from you in a second. Live by this. Ok if you rmb a few entries back I was lamenting that I didn't know who I was as a person, and the proverbial 'what is the meaning in life'. I'm really no closer to finding the answer than before, but one of my friends has. and i'm envious. envious because he is whole, but i am not. envious because he is happy and contented but i am not. envious because he is ready to die, if death knocks on his door, but i am not not. self-actualization courses and the whole concept of self-discovery/self-help through external help doesn't really appeal to me because personally i feel that you as a person should be shaped by your own life experiences, both bad and good. It is what makes you who you are. So of course I'm apprehensive when someone comes along and tells me that this certain spiritual course will change my life, and even went as far to claim that it will change society. Here's where i start to ask the questions to myself; do i need this help to discover myself? do i want it? will i regret it? I will definitely need time to find the answers. |
| 1:09 am | This is a beautiful song. Switchfoot - On fire They tell you where you need to go They tell you when you'll need to leave They tell you what you need to know Tell you who you need to be But everything inside you knows There's more than what you've heard Theres so much more than empty conversations Filled with empty words And you're on fire When He's near you You're on fire When He speaks You're on fire Burning at these mysteries Give me one more time around Give me one more chance to see.. Yeah Give me everything You are Give me one more chance to be... (near You) Ah-yeah When everything inside me looks like Everything I hate You are the hope I have for change You are the only chance I'll take When I'm on fire (fire) When You're near me I'm on fire (fire) When You speak And I'm on fire (fire) Burning at these mysteries these mysteries... |

| 11:49 pm | the bucket list was watching the bucket list earlier (jack Nicholson, Morgan freeman) and kinda inspired to come up with my own bucket list of sorts. Which I will write on paper and keep in my wallet, so that i can cross out stuff which I've done along the course of life. You can do one too if you like. here goes: The Bucket List 1) Get a GOOD degree 2) Visit tokyo disneyland again 3) Travel to Sicily and south america 4) Watch the sunset from the top of a mountain (no there's no mountains in singapore) 5) Perform the pilgrimage 6) Complete an ironman triathlon 7) Be a busker for a day 8) Go to a john mayer gig 9) Make a difference in a complete stranger's life 10) Discover the meaning of my life. Even if your hands are shaking, And your faith is broken. Even as the eyes are closin', Do it with a heart wide open. Say what you need to say. |

| 10:46 pm | i think i might be suffering from shin splints. It hurts like hell when running. Damn it ! On a side note, NUS finally sent the long awaited letter. School starts on the 4th of august starting with the orientation week which I'm 99% certain I will skip. Other than that, I think I have decided that i will join sailing in NUS as a cca. The cca list as given in the NUS website is kinda short. I was contemplating joining a radio club or an editorial society or something but they don't seem to have them. very peculiar this university. Okla bye. |

| 1:10 pm | sentosa on mondays. tennis on tuesdays. plato on wednesdays. mosque on thursdays. spanish on fridays. /this is life. there was a point in time when i used to sprint across the pedestrian crossing when i spot the flashing green man from afar. Now i look back and laugh at that mental picture of myself. Slow down guys. Stop and smell the coffee. Life is more beautiful when you start to appreciate things you previously never did. |
