DON’T HIT BIRD. NO SERIOUSLY, BIRD HAS GUN NOW…

27 September 2007
Rainy Thursday (29 Degree Celsius)
Afternoon @ 1330 (Singapore)
Listen: 直觉 by张信哲
Mood: *Cow fuck Cow, as obvious*

Today rained rather heavily, thought of calling in sick but alas, I was pretty much awaken by 7am, despite sleeping only at 3 the morning before. Oh well, one thing I can ascertain; the older you are, the less of everything you need; sleep, food (sort of), sex (hypothetically speaking) and sex (period).

Did not have lunch yesterday, which is sad for me. If you know me, you will know how important lunch is. Same reason as Lunching in US (albeit a little variation), Lunch is the MOST important part of my daily cycle while the rest of the events are mere gap filler, so imagine my desperation and anger. Luckily, someone up there really likes me, I don’t feel a tinge of hunger, well at least till 2pm. In any case, Humans will pay for their insolence, this I promise you. No Matter, I have waited for two thousand years, what is another couple more hours. Yes yes, What is another couple of hours more… When thing comes around and the universe unfolded by itself, I will personally drown a lot of people in warm beer and feed them to the lions.

Still alive despite numerous attempts on my life, ya, those pesky little mosquitoes and humans but I don’t blame them, it is but a survival instinct on their part. On that note, I am lonely. Yup, and if you know me, I will do whatever in my power, anything and everything to kill off my loneliness, and I mean ANYTHING. So much so upon recollection on that the things I do, I feel a sense of stupidity and dejected. I blame the societal at large. Who else can I blame? I need a projection, a sense of focus and concentration. Where are you, my Love?

Everyday on the MRT, I will numb myself with loud music, oblivious to my surrounding. I am lonely and seeing those dovey lovey couples isn’t helping. I too, am only a man, and am a lonely one. Recently something emotional happened. Not emotional Emotional but just feel a sense of despair. *Censored Sentence*

*Censored Paragraph*

After 30 years on this planet, I should have given up all hope of finding the right girl. I could settle down for anyone but why pretend to love her when I don’t… Why make a girl falls for you when you are not ready to love her, to comfort her? But like I said, I will do anything to kill loneliness. That includes making others’ suffer for my heartlessness. I am not proud of my action and I know fully that I will be damned for it, including my *Censored Sentence* . But for now, I couldn’t care less.

直觉 by 张信哲

心, 是一个容器, 不停的累积, 关於你的点点滴滴
虽然我, 总守口如瓶, 思念却满, 溢溅湿了我眼睛

因为, 我太想念你, 所以才害怕, 这孤独大的不著边际
若, 此刻能奔向你, 紧紧拥抱你, 我会毫不迟疑

直觉我们应属於彼此, 否则我不会每次无法停止
想你想成了心事, 等你等成了坚持, 眼中渴望来不及掩饰又如此诚实

直觉我们应属於彼此, 否则我不会常常若有所失
白天眨眼瞬间里, 夜晚呼吸气息里, 都写满了我是多么爱你想你的讯息

I JUST PRETEND TO HUG YOU UNTIL YOU GET HERE…

21 September 2007
Hot & Humid Friday (32 Degree Celsius)
Morning @ 0930 (Singapore)
Listen: Forever Love by王力宏
Mood: *I SURVIVED ANOTHER WEEK OF NOTHINGNESS*

Not really nothingness, just sometime, when I am tired and wanting to sleep… I cannot find the stairs only. It was a personal joke with Peanutz but alas, those were the days. No matter, life still moves on.

Submit the resignation yesterday and I thought there would be some fanfare, fireworks, trumpets blowing… but alas, those were just my side of imagination. I blame it on watching too much television. Went for Gary’s ROM ceremony at Tower Club, Republic Plaza. Nice place, nice food, nice Gary & wife, nice everything.

Nothing much happened here. People come, people go, but alas, that is life, such things are not meant to be. Like everything else around here, such contrivances, all for the sake of appearance. But that’s just life. Nothing wrong with it, just sometime, a little bit hard to adjust.

Where are you, my beloved?

Forever Love by 王力宏

爱你, 不是因为你的美和影
我越来越爱你, 每个眼神触动我的心
因为你让我看见forever, 才了解自己
未来这些日子, 要好好珍惜

爱我, 有些痛苦有些不公平
如果真的爱我, 不是理所当然的决定
感到你的呼吸在我耳边, 像微风深情
温柔的安抚, 我的不安定
所以我要, 每年研究你的笑容
Wo~~ 多么自然

Forever love forever love

我只想用我这一辈子去爱你
从今以后, 你会是所有
幸福的理由

爱情, 是场最美最远的旅行
沿途遇经泥泞, 偶尔阻碍我们的前进
感到你的体温在我怀里, 像阳光和煦
巧妙的熔化, 我的不安定
不可思议, 证明我爱你的理由
Wo~~ 多么自然

你感动的眼睛,
我沉默的声音,
仿佛就是最好的证明
就让我再说一次
I love you ~~ 直到永远

SEX IS NOT THE ANSWER! SEX IS THE QUESTION, YES IS THE ANSWER

18 September 2007
Hot & Humid Tuesday (30 Degree Celsius)

Mood: *fucking Bored*

Second day at work, I nearly fall asleep. Oh funnily, same feeling yesterday. See lah, told you HR hated my guts. Told them that Science Park has nothing for me to do and since both side got nothing better for me, why not post me to back to my old office. At least over there, if lobo like now, I could have lunch and numerous tea breaks throughout the day.

On a second note, maybe idling around is not exactly a bad idea. Oh well, life’s a dilemma, isn’t it? Some of the colleagues were discussing to give me some cheebye work to do, maybe that can pass some time. Throat getting a little sore, could be due to intensive smoking sessions these couple of days. like I said, not at all a bad thing. Oh yes, finally decided to get my lazy butt out and applied for a Starhub cable modem. Apparently it comes with a free XBOX thingy… It does coincide with the new 37” LCD TV I am getting, so you see, eventually, everything will unfold by itself, universally that is.

Oh on another sour note, Cheebye company HR & Medical policies sucks. I was referred by the doctor to do a followed up scan and HR refuse to pay me the cost incurred. They state that

Staff will bear the costs of any follow-up tests and procedures, if any, according to the medical scheme provision

So professional wording for fuck, just say WAIT LONG LONG lah. In essence, the company (and to a larger extend the government) stance is; if no money, life is tough, you die or alive is entirely your own making. Lucky for me, I have some saving to cover the cost of the scan. Imagine if I am a poor bird, who has no saving whatsoever at all, and company not helping much. Well, like I said, Life is tough.

Went to Han’s solemnization and got arrowed to do a little MCing. Lucky the girl who arrowed me is pretty enough… But then, it is for my best friend, so its ok. Saw Ms Y there but alas, don’t see the point of making small talk with her. Also, my best friends are around, I figure chatting with them beats small talking any SYT anytime. Yup, when you reaches a certain age (like 30), SYT, flirting and sex no longer holds the same adrenaline surge as they used to. Maybe sex but that’s another story.

Anyway, nice seeing you on the metro back. And really nice of you to approach me instead of running off (haha). Well, hope to see you soon, but I don’t count on that. Still false hope is better than no hope.

小小 by 容祖儿

回忆像个说书的人, 用充满乡音的口吻
跳过水坑绕过小村, 等相遇的缘分

你用泥巴捏一座城, 说将来要娶我进门
转多少身过几次门虚掷青春
小小的誓言还不稳
小小的泪水还在撑
稚嫩的唇在说离分
我的心里从此住了一个人, 曾经模样小小的我们
那年你搬小小的板凳, 为戏入迷我也一路跟
我在找那个故事里的人, 你是不能缺少的部份
你在树下小小的打盹
小小的我傻傻等

I MISSED SINGAPORE THEN, I MISSED US NOW

Listen: 受罪 by 张信哲
Mood: *Where Are You?*

Backdated Post… Written long time ago, but still hold sense haha

Now I know why I refuse to go out on Friday and Saturday. Went for lunch with Chivy & Edna and the whole fucking place seems to be flooded with nothing but dating couples. On that note, yes, I am empty and lonely, was 3 years ago and still am 3 years later. At least back in US I can idle the whole day in my house and not be bothered with the world at large. I live my life the way I do and like, no one to judge me. Remind me again why I hated weekends…

Oh yes, I was so put off by humans today that I refuse to move my ass and grab my dinner outside. Sooner or later, I will most probably swear off any human contact and die alone in my apartment, knowing fully that the world would still be a cheebye-ish place with or without me. That is like a universal truth; the world still moves on with or without you. Not exactly a sad state if you see its point, all for the sake of self preservation. I know, because I am part of it.

I am here for a week already. I do miss US, life though is not that bad here, all I need is some adjustment. Like I said earlier, it should be easier this time; my friends and love ones are around me for that much needed support. Went for a few lunches and dinners, caught one of the local movies (881, not a bad show actually), met up with a few friends and then some drinks sessions with Han.

These couple of years in US has somehow radicalized me to a certain extremity. Give me a good discussion on politics, particularly social aspect of life anytime. So much so that I feel a little tired trying to get the small talk going with new friends on everything common and yet not that familiar to us. There are regular topics between new friends of course; the only problem is mine was pegged 3 years ago and life does change fast around here. Not at all a bad thing, at least I have my buddies and friends to tie me through these periods of acclimatisation.

For whatever reasons, for better or for worst, as I was telling Han, I have to lan lan and accustomed to life back here. No point missing elsewhere when I am 99% certain I will be here for a long time (relatively speaking).

Oh well, Welcome Home, bird, hope you will enjoy it as much humanely as where ever possible.

受罪 by 张信哲

陌生的城市被恶梦惊醒的黑夜, 拉开窗帘看著无人的街
熟悉的音乐响在耳边
我看著眼前已没有感觉的世界
想起了你

我发现我在安静无声地掉泪, 这才明白被伤得有多重
曾经我以为事过境迁
走了这么远总该能把痛给忘却
距离却一再提醒对你的想念

就让我爱里头受罪疯狂的疲惫, 不相信你会走得那么绝
既然没有权利快乐至少拥有全部伤悲
你让我爱里头受罪却没有怨言, 连折磨自己都无法避免
活在你留下的深渊我看不见天
开始习惯黑夜

THAT WAS FAST??

5 September 2007
Sunny Wednesday (31 Degree Celsius)
Morning @ 1130 (Singapore)
Listen: 无所谓 by 蔡健雅
Mood: *The best is yet to be… ya, is yet... Don't know when only*

Yup. That was fast. I am back in Singapore and it is the third day and counting. It will be a long count as far as the eyes could see. Not entirely a bad thing, at least this time, the going would be easier; with love ones and friends around, I supposed that would make life a little better and easier to fall back into the system.

Overcast and raining for the longest time and today, lo dude, its sunny. Was telling my mom how come today so bright… she told me Raining complain, Overcast complain; now Sunny also complain. I love my mom…

Oh yes, was telling Hiok and Han my little preference of late, both were somewhat surprised and maybe with a tinge of disbelieved (on Hiok’s Part). But then, it’s a choice and a preference that I like, lets keep it as that, easier for the heart too. It is not a matter of cost or whatever reason we tried to conjure up, like I said, its preference, plain old preference.

Oh well, the things I do to make sense of myself. I had lunch with Hiok too, met up with Ding and later decide to jalan around and ended up in Raffles Place to have a smoke break with Han. We left for an impromptu drink later; would have been nice if there are sweet young things with us but alas, such things are not meant to last. Why bother the already bothered mind? In any case, I was awake till 9.30pm and that was a feat by itself. Slowly but surely, I will get over my jetlag.

I always enjoy chatting with Hiok and Han, it is not too hard to see that they are my few best friends around. Both with such differ personality and getting insights into their views and thoughts; we are non-judgmental and non-intervention (ya, like ASEAN) but not quite ASEAN as they tried to remedy some deviation (like my preference for example).

On that part (lasting), it seems that part of the problem (in place of a better word) with growing old is to sacrifice a part of your youth for stability. I supposed it all boils down to what human’s definition of maturity. I too love to fall in crushes and infatuation every now and then; where I can feel alive, with every heart beat hastened, anticipation of your arrival and if any, a chat with you. At times, I wonder (rather stupidly) why doesn’t you reciprocate my niceties and long for you to just tell me that, “hey I missed you too”.

That is the root of my problem; while others can draw the line (as the saying goes) and to stop their feelings from developing further, I prefer to let myself down an endless pit and stay that way. Not entirely a bad thing, just the recovering part is a little hard to bear. I long for a companion too, don’t us all do?

So what now? Tonight got drink, tonight drunk; easier for my shattered heart.

My love, where thou are you?
