C) Continue this game by sending it to other people.

#1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
*shrug* i'm currently in a numb and nonchalant state. probably no reaction; or a long blank stare...... then something explosive. or maybe i will suddenly burst out laughing. i told you, i'm in a weird state of mood right now. don't expect normal answers.

rose

alien lenses
gilded hands
trying to forget who i am

whittling away at my existence
not wanting to bear the brunt
of the burdensome
mental incapacitating
crippling imagination
overactive
explosive-reactive

the sink trying to pretend it is a washing machine
the dishwasher chuckles,
spins.
not realizing it will choke
in the misplacement of detergent and dishwashing liquid.

error error
confined terror
terrorism and steeled nerves
stainless steal decries those very nerves
my essence dangles before my eyes

expectation generation
feelings un-quelled, expelled
well.

thus my alien lenses
speak in tongues
meandering moods
and wandering woods
the boy who cried wolf hides in a cupboard.

no reason i can offer
no solace i can share
this coffer
lower lower

how could i resist
the charm of rose-coloured lenses
perhaps
i will remove these alien lenses
shifting my perspective
odd to lovely
lovely to odd
odd is lovely
lovely is odd.

Catch

It's a different ballgame altogether;
Not a simple throw and catch
Not quite touch and go
But a hide and go seek kinda matter.
The complexities of the complication
Mired with the rifts and the burrs
I feel like a large bush grabbed my hand
And ran its thorns upon my palm.
Striving to understand the motivations of this mulberry bush
I run around to the other side
And myself I met there.
Only she was not quite the same.
Lopsidedly grinning, left is to right is to left.
Laterally, we spoke
Ink blot on paper folded sideways
-not quite half.
Frightening yet not quite herself
The manure of miss-recognition
Sometimes it may be a defensive response.
Long way up, and long way more
When will the sky and the ground converge?
Equator hanger-on, south-side spore
The goose got quite a flaying.
Happenstance, inopportune chance
Dried lemons left hanging
What's mine to take, what loss at stake
What really takes the cake
Long to bake
Wide awake
Flaking
Flake
Fake.

Rest-surrect

O, the gaping hole
The flightless beast
The crippling sting of water.

Floating lust,
The oriole sings.
And Jill came tumbling after.

Fleeting fictions
Or relentless sagas
Cajoled Callous Canned.

Creaking kitchens
Pods and pants
A harpsichord groans in laughter.

Abject to pain
Enslaved to fear
The mind was made to suffer.

Absolut Nuffin'
The keyword of the day,
Those diligent musings.
Alcoholic ambition.

Bucket after bucket-
Load.
Falling like starved artists
Into the intelligentsia cess pool.

Pen me a note,
Says the ever-wandering I.
Seething with careless connive.
(I daresay I try)

Fluted like the wind
Of merciless rainbows.
Like the petty cash and cheeky bows
And the avowal of citizenship.

Flagrantly, fragrantly
The scent of the noon.
A million beestings like porcupine spines
My hedgehog shoe rues.

Loops, the endearing chase.
An ordered tangle of artistry.
Swollen facades and crafted genius
The sprinkling of a lie plies forth.

Golden seas and golden arches
I am the Duchess of Ignorance
My crown was tossed into the ocean
Symbolic symbiosis.

Cradling 'Nuffin
My toes dig through the filth
Of a forgotten seashore
As the waves wash over my ears

It came, the wistful skyline
As seagulls swooped and sang a dirge.
Bury bury, the dust did accrue
And the sandcastles crumbled.

There was no End
As there had been no Beginning
But Grouse, she stepped away from me
And flung herself into the hungry foam.

stretching the limits of my health by:
1) staying out all night
2) sleeping very little
3) doing the above for twice a week in a row

definitely not a waste of time.
maybe a social experiment.

at what cost?
taking work hard play harder initiatives.

footwear fight

sigh.
there must be something wrong with me.
is it the way i walk?
is it the shape of my feet?
is it the size of my feet?
is it my weight?!!?
or is it just bad luck?

shoe too tight, nvm. normal.
shoe giving me blisters, nvm. normal.
shoe sole came off with the first wear. kinda abnormal.
shoe heel chipped off and even dropped off with first few wears. super abnormal.
shoe getting comfy then today i see my little toe peeking out from a hole at the side.
i've heard of peep toe shoes, but this is absurd.

conclusion.
shoe is comfy but things start happening to it which render it unwearable.
shoe is uncomfortable and i have HELL trying to even STAND in it.
or shoe is too loose and it keeps dropping off. and i can't walk properly and hence become very painful at the sole.
WAH THIS SUCKS.

GIVE UP WEARING SHOES.

bane of my life:
1) OFFICE FOOTWEAR
2) TOO MANY PPL CHIONGING FOR SPACE IN MRT SO I HAVE TO STAND = EVEN MORE PAINFUL FEET
3) office wear makes me feel out of place
4) I FEEL FRUMPY AND LIKE A CLOWN DRESSED IN WEIRD CLOTHES WITH PAINFUL FEET AND BAD SHOES.
5) haiz.

other than that, work's fine.
i hate you shoes, i hate you crowd.

passing motion

and this weekend it will be.
the finality of four years and 25k.
all to be washed away with frivolity and indulgence.

blue gown,
square hat,
maroon and black.

paper is a gesture.
trying to capture the moment.
photography, generosity.
but no,
i(won't)Give.
four years' culmination in symbolism.

is that what we get in the end?
a scroll, standing in for accomplishment.
a scroll, landing you employment.
a scroll tied up with a pretty ribbon.
much like the pay packet that ties us up.
financial freedom but financial enslavement.
depends which side of the glass you're looking at.

nevertheless,
i will relish in the moment.
i will give in to buying overpriced souvenirs.
i will participate in the customary photography.
i will try not to trip when i go up on stage.

think people work too hard for symbols these days.
not that they don't have use in this day and age.
materialism is the pursuit of symbols.
so i am bequeathed with a symbol i have been striving (half-heartedly) for since i was two and a half years old.
now i chase the symbols of money.
a snake, impaled on one or two stakes/skewers.

S + | or || = $

people who live by the laws of the skewered snake have surrendered their souls to a similar life. for a garden full of sweet fruit, i am trapped within it. for the power to suddenly afford many things i couldn't before, i am trapped within the neverending routine, cycle, wheel of trudging to work and thinking about the next pay day.

not that work is boring.
it definitely is, when you have nothing much to do.
but i am a person of chaos who has to learn the rules of routine.
i am a person of the night who has to live by the rules of the day.
i am a person of the casual who has to live by the rules of the OL.
i am a person of the slippers who has to live by the rules of the elevated shoe.

thank goodness internship has taught me the ways of not being afraid to answer and make phonecalls (rofl) amongst other things.

8 more days,
and i am awaiting money and permanency.
been seeing some colours start appearing.
now that the focus is not yet on me, i will make like a virus running as a background process, biding my time and peeling my ears.
learning the ins and the outs.
before the antivirus can snare me, i will be gone.
even if it did i will be one step ahead.

the taichi master becomes the daiji master.
he wears a mask and he has two faces.
but the one with the painted face; the joker, still controls him.
this he knows, for this he angers, but he takes it out on others.
the joker is more dangerous than two face.

blanket

pros:
money
occupy yourself
meet new people
learn new things
buy things i want

cons:
no time
having to be disciplined
feels like i'm wearing a monkey suit
growing up too quickly
needing to use makeup (eventually)
wearing painful shoes

cramped weekends with me trying to fit numerous things into each day.
fri after work, went for company dinner, then met ah ma, cheng and yk for some drinks and supper. the damn 7-11 at centrept didn't sell any ppcs. but i was too tired anyway.

with less than 3 hours of sleep under my belt, stumbled to meet pb at mcDs for breakfast at 10+am. walked randomly around the neighbourhood introducing him to his new (temp) neighbourhood until about 1240pm, upon which i left for home since the MJ session was scrapped. managed to get my ppc at popular though. leveled from 60+ to 64 over the weekend as a result.

went to vin's place for the last bbq before construction works begin at his house and they move temporarily (about a year+). an early bdae celebration for him too with a cake and candles. he kept going upstairs to play dota etc. so antisocial. D: but i had the company of his two bros and his 3 friends whom i already know quite well so nvm. =P

was falling asleep while they were chatting about military stuff. his aunt drove his eldest bro and me home around 2am :D thanks to her i don't need to take cab for the consecutive time this week. D:

dead to the world although sis tried to wake me up around 8+am, 9+am, 10+am and 11+am. finally emerged from my green blanket cocoon at 1130am, cursing and swearing at my undone and increasingly difficult jap hw. sigh if i don't buck up i will have to repeat this level. thinking about it just makes me sian.

absolutely nothing compels me to blog these days.
when i come home i just wanna stone and sleep and eat and maple and chat.

maybe i'll go catch batman after class.
everyone's raving about it and i don't wanna be the last in the world to know why.
yeah. not enough time for movie-devouring.
makes me sad.

ah well, you win some, you lose some.
11 days to payday :D

zzzzz
you want to die is it?
really is kou shi xin fei leh.
but i knew it because i can see right through you.
saying you want distance so i give that to you
(by being cold to you instead of friendly)
then sudd today msn (and of course i ignored) then called me.
because you still owe ur own phonebill, u used ur mom's line to call me.
LOL.

i really dunno what to say except laugh.
because it is so funny.
this type of people.
damn amusing.

i'll give you what you want, regardless.
you'll get the cold shoulder :D
i got better things to do anyway.
apparently you don't, calling me using your mobile considering you live in msia.
*laughs*

like i said, i like to waste ppl's time.
esp those who offend me or offend someone close to me.
you are my yarn.
i will not stop until you are a tangled mess on the floor.

if you give someone something, and keep on giving, they will keep on wanting more.
if you give me amusement, i will play games with you but with my rules.
maybe i'll be nice to you tomorrow~
maybe i won't.

and i'm so happy!!!!!
going for national day actual day parade!!!!!
thanks to my sis' fren (whom i suspect still likes her)

it's the least i can do.
=)

yay happy happy joy joy~

despo

because the entire heel of one pair of shoes CAME OFF (and no, i dunno when or where it came off, must've been on the street while walking. ie: so malu) and the lining/sole of one has practically come off (flapping), i had to make the desperate call to find some shoes to wear to work next week.

so off dith goes to tpy central with mom.

bata sucks. expensive and prolly not very good.
another shop wasn't very good also - quality not good and shoe design very old fashioned (stock from 1980s?).
finally saw this shop having a $9.90 sale. that caught my eye first, then this:



can't be bothered to put it nicely and touch up the picture. gonna try to wear that to work (until they scold me or until it spoils, whichever comes first). my feet are huge D: size 40 or 41. egads. the girl had to use a special expander to expand the toe area too. D:

$9.90... i'll go back to this shop if the shoes prove wearable! moda paolo.
and i found non-slip slippers!!!!!!! ahhh so happy.

don't know why some people have a bone to pick with me.

YOU. the stupid flirt. assuming ass. IMPOSING your thoughts upon others. makes me IRRITATED. MCIP. (yes it's a totally racist/sexist/countryist comment).
just because you have seen the patterns emerge, does not mean YOUR GROUP OF PEOPLE equates to ME. by ASSUMING certain things, it reflects upon me insensibility and immaturity to manage myself and my consumption. FINALLY, if you keep insisting that you're a bad person to know, then in the first place, GO AWAY. i have remained friends with you because you are quite an interesting person to analyse as well as possessing a rather eloquent (although unsound) mind. EXCESSIVE reiteration of "what's the plan" or "i'm a bad person, stay away!" or "you've got issues" pisses one off. (and this is like the SECOND time i am blogging due to irritation with this same person). if you say say say, then ACT upon it. DO I HAVE TO STEP IN for your words to be in line with your thoughts? you really say one thing, yet want another. MCIP. have a good mind to block him on msn. hahaha. there he msns me again saying sorry and that he didn't mean to make me upset. another assumption laced heavily with ego. DID YOU SMELL THAT?

"didn't mean to make you upset"
1. by saying i have been made upset, puts the power in his hand.
2. assumption that i am upset.
3. the assumption that i am upset makes me upset because it implies i am easily made upset, and by his hand? you wish.
4. implication how 'soft' my character is. anything that insinuates vulnerability disgusts me, unless i deliberately craft the situation to feature me as so. yucks.

if i wasn't so sleepy, i could probably find more ways to analyze that sentence. so loaded it is. i'll make your wish come true. i'll ignore you on msn =D easy-peasy.

and my gum is irritatingly inflammed. today ate wasabi + chilli and killed it. brushing teeth also kills it. esp gargling with very hot minty toothpaste after engaging it with bristles of my yellow toothbrush. somehow inflammation seems to be affecting my tonsils. totally not a good sign D:

off topic: i bought green plastic EARRINGS D:

need to make some changes for health purposes.
$_$
first week is almost up. 3 more to my first paycheck over 2k.
i am so excited.
+_+
then off i go shopping for some things to improve my health, my hair, my wardrobe, my home and my sister's future.

money is such an important stepping stone.
but if it is such an important tool pertinent for improvement, why do i still have mixed views over the statement "money is the most important thing".

well, maybe i can argue that "knowledge is the most important thing (because knowledge helps you get closer to money)". hehe. that piece of paper is so important. as are looks, eloquence, fluency, confidence, opportunity and some luck. oh yes, it's all about timing.

the rest is up to yourself. whether you have the determination and drive to excel, to stick it out, to rise up to the challenge and the endurance to do so. ahhh where's my work stamina? =P need to go for Makeup101 course. keep having inconsistent makeup (as well as blotchy, asymmetrical) this whole week. melaughs!

still stuck in my surreal corporate life.
such an alien being i have become.
a member of the adult workforce.

OH MAH GAWD.
...and dith babbled on at the insane hour of 9:24:00 PM

i cannot really collate my thoughts because it's more than 2hours past my working bedtime. but since you don't have access to the other i should just type it here?

things i wish for you:
- pls try to slp enough
- pls take care of yourself
- pls accept that if u try to think of everyone else first, you will lose urself
- adaptability is impt, and one should also take the responsibility to coerce oneself into good health, good habits and good tact
- the only person who can help you is yourself
- the mind is a powerful device. it can influence your bodily functions
- people will take advantage of you if you're too obliging and too nice to them
- it is one thing to say "try", one thing to show "try", and one thing to prove that trying has led to success although gradually.
- you don't need to please everyone you know
- restraining orders often have the opposite effect
- you are human and thus have the right to burst out in irrational fits of anger, sadness or joy
- listen to your heart, are you hearing what it is saying or are you only thinking what it is saying is the thing you hear?
- knowing things is an asset; deciding which to discard and which to ignore is another; tactfully utilizing what you know is yet another.
- don't be afraid to burden people if you really need something. if you need it, you need it. have you heard of the saying: "too little too late"? maybe it's time you get what you need from people rather than giving people what they need.
- for every give, there's a take. have you taken enough?

gy, i wish u well in ur university endeavors. however i am concerned about you too. wishing the visit to the doctor will actually be of use, and you will resolve whatever lies between you, min, your heart, your body, your mind. i hope you will have a clear and bright path to walk life with; with only stray branches and fallen leaves blocking your way. use the 4 days carefully before you get bogged down with assignments and projects. if anything, you can talk to me. and you can talk to her too, you know.

do not hesitate to clear whatever lies in your path with a fell of your axe.
do not hesitate to acquire things you need, even at the expense of others. they will understand. people are open to reason, if you supply them with reasons to believe in you.
be generally nice, be friendly, but only offer help to those who need it and are deserving.
there is no such thing as a person who will not make use of another for benefit, whether knowingly or unknowingly.
it's a dog-eat-dog world and a step-or-be-stepped-on world.
know that people are shrewd and cunning, and thus you must be too, to be one step ahead of them in the game.

but never change the core of who you are, for it makes you special.
just try to understand that there are things you must know in this world to survive.
as you grow older, there are things to take responsibility of to gain independence.

jiayou gy!

Sunday, July 06, 2008

Recently I caught Hancock at AMK Hub but was unfortunately too busy to blog about it. This film came off as surprising because I was expecting just another brainless HAHAHEHE fest. Oh, but although there were some damn funny bits (just seeing Will Smith in the Suit is enough to send me into fits as well as hearing him rattle off "Good Job"s randomly to officers like a mechanized superhero) I think it was quite a good watch (but of course I conveniently didn't pay for it).

The twist is interesting although somewhat convenient. In comparison with the trailer, that is only half of the entire film. There is a darker half after that, and the parts about him being a SuperAss and SuperHero are surprisingly short (thank goodness no over-reiteration like Spiderman). First off, it seems like Hancock has no freaking cow sense when he does a lot of stuff. Thus, I was rather worried when he faced the guy holding a thumb automated detonator. But of course, there's no sad ending in Hancock. Everyone gets out alive no matter what the destruction is - except perhaps the bad guys. But it is only insinuated that they die by flying out of the window of tall buildings.

What I don't get is why the big guy could get his powers back from Hancock. They could have expanded on the plot builders more. And how did Mary pierce her ears? But that was perhaps conveniently cleared up when the last major fight was approaching. And how could Ray just sit back and relax when he knew the truth? Such a passive character for a public relations type. No wonder his All Heart symbol fails and Hancock has to help him in a major way. But I do admit, that is one damn good marketing campaign, although superhuman. Literally.

And the little boy? Just put there to look cute? For completion of the family unit / illusion of one? Emotional device or connector between Hancock and the family? Well, I don't know. But his toy dinosaur is cute. Dunno what happened to it after he gave it to Hancock though. And what is this obsession with MEATBALLS? Not to mention there's a song echoing in the background that goes "'cock, 'cock, 'cock, 'cock" rofl.

Interesting movie. But still quite fluff. Which is fun when you're trying to relax and take your mind off things. Yeah.

6/10 from me.
