What a tiring weekend. It felt like I was trying to push my body up another level. Work, party, work, party. That would only mean I get no sleep. But nothing beats the miraculous healing abilities of alcohol. It really is scary. You feel like shit after work, but after a few beers, you feel brand new again. Works better than Red Bull. Of course its also the friends I spent this weekend with that made it great. Couple that with great music, you got yourself a fantastic weekend! Poptart played both Lightning Seeds songs! YEAH! Oh, lucky me.
I've got so much to say, but I'm really too exhausted to continue.
Oh, and I still haven't started my project. I'm so dead.

One more, and its a long one. Oh.. the memories.
Baddiel Skinner And The Lightning Seeds - Pure
night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine
as daydreams slide to colour from shadow
picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes
and I love you
just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime
dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reasons, can make you decide
as leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
and I love you
just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you
i'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you
if love's the truth then look no lies
and let me swim around your eyes
I've found a place I'll never leave
shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth I realize
not a stream of pretty lies
to use us up and waste our time
lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you
I'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you
pure and simple just for you

Gosh. I gotta thank wendiee for her Lightning seeds songs. I so love them. Here it is!
Goodness. The lyrics. Reminds me of... Sigh.
Baddiel Skinner And The Lightning Seeds - Lucky You
Your lying again
You say you don't but then you do
I'm trying again
To build a wall around your heart
Then break it through to you
You make it happen
Everything's blue now, oh lucky you
Oh lucky you
Theres nothing to lose
And if its really true
Oh lucky you
You're chasing the moon
Reaching out to touch the stars
But you land too soon
What will it take to make you see
The way things really are
you've got this far
So let it happen
Everything's blue now, oh lucky you
Oh lucky you
Theres nothing to lose
And if its really true
Oh lucky you
Your lying again
Give it up and tell the truth
You cant stop the rain
Its gonna fall on every roof
Iv got the proof
And only you can make it happen
Everything's blue now, oh lucky you
Oh lucky you
Theres nothing to lose
And if its really true
Oh lucky you

Wow. What a week of movie watching.
Shows I've caught within the week are, Pride and Prejudice (7.5/10), King Kong (5/10), Lilya 4ever (7/10), The Promise (-10/10), Chronicles of Narnia (7.5/10). I think we should stop believing in movie critics and start beliving in our own criticism. After all, it's us who are the movie-goers, not them. We are the ones spending the moolah and judging the shows for ourselves. I've heard from people that Narnia suck, but i so enjoyed it. Promise looked good, from the posters and stuff, but its funnier than Stephen Chow, in a sarcastic way. King Kong really disappointed me. Narnia had better efx compared to the big ape. Lion beats ape. King Kong is just a cat and mouse game from Jurassic Park. But well, I don't want to contradict myself, so you should go watch them yourselves to judge with your own judgement. I would suck as a movie critic too.
The holidays are ending and I've yet to start on my 2 projects. So far the only closest thing I've ever done is to watch Godfather pt2. I suck at writing, so I don't know how I'm gonna start on the writing. I haven't bought slide film yet, so I don't know how I'm gonna start on my slide film project. Next week I've only got monday and friday free. Just nice, 2 days for 2 projects. Dead, dead, dead.
This xmas weekend, I'll be working. How cool is that! No extensive expenditure on alcohol, no need to pay for entry anywhere, no need to spend! After work I'll just have to rush home so I don't have to squeeze with the lunatics who will clog up the streets on the eve of our saviour's birth. Alright! To everyone who's celebrating xmas, have a good one. Its thanks to Him that we have ourselves a jolly holiday.

What a slack day.
Woke up and met up with west end girl and west side boy for lunch. Sakae Sushi buffet! I swear I will pay one day for my greediness. The moment I sat down I kept grabbing anything I deem edible and stuffed them down my throat. The west siders were amazed at my ability they had to slow me down. Left the place feeling pukey and bloated.
Later on, WE9 at west side boy's place, but the food made me really sleepy, I couldn't focus on anything I did. Furthermore the dog kept tasting my toes, so I was kinda irritated, but after a while, I got used to the licking.
I'll be on my 2 week break next week. Wonder what I'll be doing to occupy my time. I'll be working and trying to find a day to finish my next slide project. After the hols, me and my group will have to go full throttle for our upcoming short film. I think we've been rather slack, as all of us have been going overseas for holidays.
Yesterday I got stood up again. I wonder how many times must I be stood up in my life. God must really want me to accept his gift of celibacy. He denies all females from getting close to me. But God! You must realise that I must have female friends too! It's just a movie for christ's sake, and we've been friends for years! But anyway, I told myself to only wait for an hour and I left, thinking that I should stop being an idiot anymore like before. As per normal, I went for a beer with my kakis after the let down and demoralising feat. It really did suck. i feel dejected, and rejected.

Phew, what a long day.
Came back from the 'Reccos retreat' in Bintan in the afternoon. Had lunch and ate like we starved for days, which in actual fact was the case. Watched Aeon Flux which wasn't as good as I expected, but Charlize Theron was worth it I guess(?).
So what did 9 boys and 3 girls do in Bintan? As it was a really ultra budget trip, all we did was the free stuff, i.e beach, beach, and beach. Boardgames, table soccer, buggy racing, table tennis, swimming. I must repeat that all that we did were free. Not only was the activities on a budget, so was the food. Name any brand of instant noodles, we have it. An assortment of canned food were also on the menu. Everyday was a beer day (which really totally rock as they were duty free). From the sound of it, it might seem really boring to any individual out there. But we had oh so much fun. It really is the company that matters, not the event, the place or the activity. This group of boys have been my bestest buds since the creation of mankind. The girls... Well, I don't know them that well as they are my 'sister-in-laws'. I hope they enjoyed themselves with a bunch of hooligans for the past few days. Although I might not be on the same wavelength with the boys on certain occasions due to differing looks and views on certain issues, and likes, I do believe we have already gone beyond that of just common interests. I hope we all feel the same way.
Though I left the place without a tan, a chick, or getting laid, it still was as enjoyable as any other time I spend with them. Yes, we will have many, many, many more years to go. Don't let me down Reccos!

Our flat is gonna get a new coat of paint. After like 15, 16 years? My mom asked me what color I wanted for my room. Black. She said I was crazy. So I said purple. She said not nice. Then why bother to ask for my opinion? If you guys know me well, you should know my mom by now too. Oh well, now I just found out my room is gonna be like sky blue. Gosh, what a color. I want my purple room. Or yellow would be nice. Bright yellow. What a coincidence that I just had a lesson on colors and its effect on people for cinematography class. I found out that yellow is my happy color. And purple is a sexy color to me. Wow. Girls, you know what color to wear in front of me now.
I visited the doc today for my eye. The specialist was quite nice, and seemed concerned, which is something I like out of a doctor. Unlike some doc who just wanted me out of the room asap the last time I went to a specialist. (In case everyone has forgotten, this is related to the case of the punched eye.) I did the standard eye check for my degree, and how my eye takes pressure. Then he dripped some eyedrop into both my eyes that made my vision blur for 3-4 hours. He said it was to assist him in checking for swelling. He found scratches on my eye and wasn't sure if my short sightedness was due to a compressed eyeball. I had to visit him 3 months later to see if it'll be permanent, and if I'll join the league of speckys out there in the world. Imagine me with glasses. One side with clear glass, and the other for my short sightedness. Weird. I don't want to be a specky! No offence at all to any speckys who read this, but I've been so used to my perfect vision. Such that even with this slight short sightedness, I feel uncomfortable. I think God is just punishing me for ogling too much at pretty girls. You can take my left eye, but I've still got my right! How's that!
(p.s Dear God, I was only joking. Please do not take my right eye. I still need it to survive. It's my ricebowl. And grant me back my left eye as I still want to ogle at your wonderful masterpiece. The female human.)

My goodness. I've been so busy I realised I really don't have the time to do much things. It's actually the first time I felt like I had to squeeze time out to do certain things like watching a movie, or even using the internet. Even right now as I'm blogging, I'm sacrificing sleep. I can look ahead in the days and weeks and freak out at the amount of things-to-do I can list out. Bintan is expensive, for a really poor person. Now prices are double as compared to the last time I went! Exploit us, please! With all this complaining, going this coming Friday will only come as a burden, but on the brighter side of things, at least I'm going with my decade old group of buds. Consolation. Tsk tsk.
I want to get a breather.
And I want rid the world of acne, starting from myself of course.
