finally sat down to clear my cupboards out of stuff that has been there for years... when i said years... i mean it... i found diaries from my lower secondary days... love letters... of love found and lost, or almost had... friendship notes, cards, letters and gifts... photos of family, friends and loved ones... it was kinda fitting... it being the Christmas season... reminiscing the old... cherishing the new and, hopefully, eternal... not in the literal sense of the word... but almost there... i truly had a good laugh reading my confessions of 'love'... or what i thought to be love in my diaries... and looking how horrible i looked in my teens... not that i'm much better looking now... but i think at least a little... i called serene in the midst of it all... just coz reading all her letters made me want to cry... i kinda trashed the diaries... but the photos and letters fit nicely into two separate shoeboxes... i lament the loss of contact with a large majority of these people... but i guess it's kinda inevitable... I Am Legend happened on Friday... it was PA's Trainers' Night... managed to get a ticket for the guy because another trainer couldnt stay... thought it was not bad... Will Smith was awesome... though like i told Nick, i spent half the movie hiding... whenever the zombies came out... and whenever i thought the zombies might be coming out... though i think zombies might be the wrong word to use... coz even though they feed on humans, they are really quite smart... Across the Universe at the AMK Hub today... i loved it... Beatles' song after song... the lead was awesome... loved his voice... loved the way they linked up the songs with a pretty good story... loved how they changed the tempo of I Wanna Hold Your Hand and into a sad song... told the guy to get me the soundtrack for our anniversary... we left ECP coz there was no wind in sight... although mr tan sms-ed me saying a south-west blew just as we left... i blame the guy for being a wind jinx... spent the time before the movie exploring AMK central... just realised it was one place that we has a bit in common... him spending his sec sch, JC and army days in that area... when i spent my JC days there... went around looking for places familiar to us... Western food, comics shops, Jubilee... it was comforting really... to check out the heartlands for a change... 3rd Jan marks our 3rd year together... doesnt seem like too long of a period of time... while we had some down times... it has mostly been great... he was playing Cranberries' Zombie just the other day... and asked me to sing... so i googled the lyrics and sung... we sounded like crap... but we had fun... i think thats the most important part... complementing each other... and having the time of our lives... ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:49 --Link to Post |

final year is such a pain in the ass... not only is my final year project a big pain... long story... just need to understand that everything that can go wrong....HAS gone wrong... and also the looming pressure to decide what i wanna do as a career... my self imposed pressure to get hired before graduation... just so i can be part of the statistics when NUS says something like, "65% employed prior to graduation!" i really dont know... i dont know what i wanna do... i dont know what i can do.... i dont know what i should do... been bugging the guy with these too.... i dont think he thinks very much of me in the finance/banking industry... he said something like if my ex-boss offers me a job at a party that might happen soon... i should take it... if the price is right, of course... i really like the work... though i hate the stress and pressure that mounts sometimes... it doesnt pay well... but it is work i appreciate and enjoy... but it's really not just about me... i hate being so lost... on a lighter note.... it has been movies galore with the guy this hols... Two Days in Paris was awesome... so was National Treasure... the guy loves the name, Benjamin Gates... didnt really get Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium... The Golden Compass was enjoyable... save for the obvious lead up to probably another 2 movies... and i think if the guy and i saved up all the money we spent at the movies... we can really get a decent trip overseas... oh well... I Am Legend due next week... guy is pretty sad coz i cant bring him along to Trainers' Night... and he has been the one trying to convince me to watch the movie in the first place... but i'm the one getting a free movie... hols ending soon... and my FYP is stuck in a ditch... yes, i'm whining... so sue me... ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:27 --Link to Post |

it has been my dream to own an SLR camera... frankly i dont even know what that means... i just know it takes kick-ass photos... have been telling myself that i will get it with my first paycheck... but then again... as i have seen with a lot of people... what's the use of having a kick-ass camera when you take mediocre photos? but how do you get better, without having a better camera? such a catch-22... the exams are finally over... back to lab on my FYP... my plans kinda screwed up quite a bit... was counting on some parts being manufactured while i was having my exams... but it turned out that the lab people didnt send in my order because it cost too much... they really could have called me... so that i reduced the numbers... but they didnt... so i'm stuck on that front... was hoping to use them on my friend's test rig while he is away in Australia... now i'll have to wrestle him for it over the holidays and term... and i'm being bounced from lab to lab again... friend says FSC can... FSC say no tool, ask me go E5... E3 say FSC can... E5 say FSC so many machine, why cannot... E5 finally lets me use... but specimens turned out quite badly... BLEAH. the novena area is really starting to warm up... with the opening of velocity and square 2... dining options are really starting to increase... just discovered a Pasta de Waraku... and my favourite Ayam Penyet Ria... so fantastic that the guy lives where he lives... not so sure whether i'm rooting for his en-bloc anymore... but then again... As long as the price is right! ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:46 --Link to Post |
