The weeks after atec have been miserably uneventful. kinda like being in a limbo with no concrete goals and not having enough meaningful tasks. even when clearing off other people are still in camp so options are clearly limited. Despite this, i got played out on a monday when, after waiting miserably for a whole sunday and monday morning, wham and bang! i got a msg ard noon which said that the person was "feeling sian and was postponing the movie". spoken like a true member of royalty. but he turned up for a dinner with other likewise fleet-footed members. quite the socialite eh? i dare say he must have gone on a secret rendezvous with his newfound object of desire and forgot all about me but still found the energy after his clandetine liason to meet up with rsm and co. sly fox. i will never forget someone who has wasted my day off.
B / B, if you noe wad i mean.
forgive...maybe. and u still ask for 2 bottles of facial wash?

the mini gathering on wed was pretty gd. and the desserts at ricciotti were only too good to be true, at half price after 2100hrs. the only bump that evening was this abhorrent man at Harry's@esplanade who demanded that we all order a drink each orl...well, get out. Good serivce...it's a long way to go. Nowhere else have i heard of such an absurd rule. how condescending...

The national day hype this year was greater than previous years and i took the chance to soak in the atmosphere of patriotism. even though i cant say that i have devoted myself fully to the cause of this miraculous island, i have an unquestionablee loyalty to what this tiny red dot represents, all things good and bad. There cant possibly be good without bad, is there? perhaps it's the passing of the years or a subtle paradigm shift, but ive felt as if our country is being liberated bit by bit. sure, change doesnt happen overnight or the push to equilibrium will result in a tumultous revolution but the tiny processes over time have added up. it took 3-4 generations to get to where we are; perhaps another 3-4 generations later our outlook would be drastically different, with different issues to tackle as people come and go. as people grow wiser and more sprout from the success of their predecessors, hopefully we remain visionary enough to blaze our way into the future of limitless possibilities.

Movie outing today was a TOTAL flop. the only good thing was the visit to the Chan brother's encore travel fare at suntec. good old tribalism still prevails in this day and age. AI vs TK. sometimes things dont make sense but they still occur. anw, next time i shall be swift and decisive and tyranny. so wad if it was a foreign film, which it wasnt in the first place? im sure uve more than a flea brain to read the subs. totally made my blood boil. lame excuses...from the one who played me out. haiz. hurtful. more likely another case of B / B. and so we decided on knocked up at 1530 cos of teddy's hectic schedule for the day, which called for audiences with many people. alas, fate wasnt on our side and the show was sold out even before we set foot at the box office. in future, just watch what i want to watch, period. "Big Brother is always right, all hail BB" sometimes we just need some of that to overcome the weaknesses of democracy amd sensitivity. =) and the day culminated in the the physical and emotional abandonment of yours truly by 1800 hrs. to think i spent a sleepless night trying to get things together. the more the expectation, the greater the fall. i just dont get it. but im vindictive so i'll be fine...eventually.
