The Way back home..

.. has been really interesting these past few days. I refer to the path leading from the nearest bus stop from my house. On the first day, the moon was incredibly round and bright. On the second day there was this chio girl who was walking her dog , and that was good too. On the third day I saw this huge, lone rabbit chewing on grass near a tree... 'Why haven't I ever thought of owning a rabbit?' That was the conclusion that I and brother came too when we saw it.

I watched the Harry Potter V movie on Sunday, and finished the seventh book as well. I still don't find her idea very appealing but it was an absorbing read and it's nice how she makes it a point to reveal secrets and revelations one by one. The movie was rather hard to stomach; it was more akin to Harry Potter the Summary. I also had a case of bad breath I think.... I... I blame it on my retainers..yeah.

And then there was that rather embarrassing scene that followed on that night =/ hehe. But the bridge of friendship was apparently long and strong enough to cross the gap of that trying experience. DON'T DO IT AGAIN. Haha..

I met up with kader and jevon on Monday. One of the conversations was rather.. unsettling. I'm sad about the way he felt I suppose, having misinterpreted my intentions completely (but understandably). Will try to be more vigilant in keeping contactable with my friends. Haven't done that so well for the past month or so. The following conversation was a lot better though. I learnt a lot of things that I hadn't known, or perhaps had not tried to know, and I saw a different side of things that I was not used to seeing. I guess... Maybe I just didn't pay enough attention..

So apparently I have a neutral face and its hard to distinguish whether people like us are being serious or not.... Maybe it'll make working life harder or something, and maybe it just pisses of my friends sometimes (Well that's probably a fact), but I kinda like things that way, aha. At least for just awhile more, anyway.

Oh yes we ran into Raj from CJC. Apparently he's studying in Canada now, and living there has given him an accent just like my OC. Haha. Cool.

My right eye has developed some minor astigmatism. Is this something that required immediate correction? Does anybody know?

I saw the kind of vest that I wanted to get at Queensway, but it was the wrong cut and the quality wasn't very good. Its not like I'm very particular about this.. I'm not going to fork out 200 bucks for something from Brooks Brothers but I hope I can find something in the middle, soon...

I still have lots of books left to read and re-read... Gotta prioritize them:

1. Violence and the Illusion of Destiny
2. Attachments
3. Keeping Faith
4. For One More Day
5. The Four Loves

And then after I'm done, I can get my next Dragonlance Book!

....

Read the following statements:

Steven Spielberg is a Scientologist.

Steven Spielberg is the executive producer of Transformers.

Let it sink in for a moment.

Perhaps he had a hand in the storyline production. I got this information from a friend of mine in camp. Haha.. Really puts a totally different twist on the show, eh?

Transformers Rocks.

Ok... No substantial plot, and hardcore fans might have their usual gripes about show to movie (lost-in)translations... But it's stuffed with silly, slapstick, raunchy, and candid humor. The visuals and animations of the robots was great too! Good movie!

I ate at the VivoCity Food Republic with my family. Cockroaches were crawling around the cracks in the wall next to me, and I thought my ba chor mee/ mushroom minced meat noodle lacked a little flavor, so I nicked one with my chopsticks and stirred it into the chilli. Authentic flavoring, yum...

Well it would have been cool if I had done that.

Tomorrow I'm going to hunt for vintage animes of my childhood together with my sister. Hope to get Shadow Skill, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Rurouni Kenshin! Haha all the better if there is Cooking Master Boy!

Gone with the Wind

I got a real ass kicking these past two weeks: KO'ed from the SAF day parade at the last minute, and one and a half punishment for an incident in base ( Not that I don't deserve it, but why couldn't it have been double punishment? Then I could complain..). But it was also very encouraging that my friends in camp took the time to help me buy food, and just be with me whenever they could, and now I know for sure that I was right about my shift =) Did a decent amount of reading as well...

I watched Transformers as well! It was(is) an Awesome cinematic experience.

So today, Airforce GOH was the center of attraction for the NDP previewers, providing wholesome laughter and joy for the Primary school kids with our rendition of the Mixed step Multi-Hop Marching Drill technique! Ah well. At least I wasn't involved in that mess =/

What's there to say for the music at this year's NDP? Not so good... With the exception of that catchy, upbeat song that's always being shown on TV these days.
