*rubs tummy* again! again!

another saturday, another nite at wala. the crowd was better tis wk.. lots of singing-along and shouting and toasts, especially during the third set. the unxpected are performing this mon and tues at the esplanade. tink i can only catch the tues show cos i gotta stay back late on mon.. again.

been a super busy wk for me.. actually it's been super busy since nscsc course started. the ns students are really demanding compared to the regulars. can u believe they even asked me to vacuum their floor for them.. wat the hell do i look like? the cleaning lady ah.. bloody hell go clean up the room urself la. its ur own damn mess. also been staying back alot (and i mean ALOT) for the course. they plunged into exercise period within like a wk into the course and exercise periods means staying back for my department. damn sianz jus sit in the control rm waiting for things to happen.. well at least i managed to watch batman begins on dvd thanks to staff larry. the amt of fags dat i've consumed within these few wks is really no joke. need to place another order liao..

so saturday. the relaxing day. the day which you're free to party the nite away. i started the day with wen. we woke up, i had breakfast while she washed up. then it was off to final theory lessons for me. we took a cab cos it was already too late by the time we left the hse. i dropped off at bbdc and wen continued on her way back to jb. spent nearly 4 hrs in bbdc with the veins in my head bursting. already damn tired during the wk still must tahan the super boring lessons. had to use all my mental strength to stay awake. not as easy as it seems. went back home after dat to settle down my stuff and freshen up. left the hse again at 1745 to meet ju, pei, long and leo. leo's birthday is tmr. we met up in town and decided to head to holland v instead. waste my bus trip all the way down.. *%$#. had dinner at crystal jade and leo was generous enough to treat us to the meal. was wala for us after dat where we caught shirlyn and her three musketeers in action. laughs music laughs music.. twas fun.

tmr got duty and for some reason the internet in saf cant access blogger. actually lots of sites are blocked by saf. wonder why they even bother to have internet connection with all the restrictions. gonna have to stay back again on mon for wargaming exercise. hope i dun collapse from overexhaustion.. actually also good la can get mc and relax at home. hee.. 2 more wks to go before lull period again. not dat we'll be as free.. got loads of packing and stuff to do.

i remember you

saturday nites are wala-wala are almost becoming a regular for me. i love the times i spend there. good drinks, good music, good crowd and, most importantly, good company. i've picked up many good songs since i first went there. one song stands out in particular.. it strikes a chord with me. i guess you can say the song speaks to me in a special way.

Skid Row - I Remember You

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you
And all the tears you cried, that called my name
And when you needed me I came through

I paint a picture of the days gone by
When love went blind and you would make me see
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes
So that I knew that you were there for me
Time after time you were there for me

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand?
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I wanna hear you say I remember you

We spent the summer with the top rolled down
Wished ever after would it be like this
You said I love you babe, without a sound
I said I'd give up my life for just one kiss
I'd live for your smile and die for your kiss

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand?
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I wanna hear you say I remember you

We've had our share of hard times
But that's the price we paid
And through it all we kept the promise that we made
I swear you'll never be lonely

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain
Washed away a dream of you
But nothing else could ever take you away
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true
Oh my darling, I love you

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand?
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I wanna hear you say I remember you

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand?
Love letters in the sand - I remember you
Through the sleepless nights, through every endless day
I wanna hear you say, I remember - I remember you

give the song a listen. then go down and hear the unxpected play the song.

feel good inc... sort of

another long day in camp.. its 12am and i jus got home. gonna wake up again at 6 and head back. wonder what i came home for in the first place eh.

i was sitting around in the office wid the gorillaz's feel good inc playing in my head. then i tot "why not come up with my own lyrics?" so i did. and now im stuck.. any of u guys wanna lend a hand and finish up the song for me?

The wind is now beneath my knees
Like the people trapped behind the sheets
I feel you are all I feel
It's not right and it's not real
Dunno to give up or yield..

the song is abt a guy who cant stop tinking abt a girl. but he doesnt wan to be tinking abt her. dun ask me abt the first sentence cos i also dunno wat it means. the second sentence's saying dat he's blinded to wat's in front of him. i noe the last sentence means the same thing but i intended it dat way. he doesnt wan to be tinking abt her remember..

so any takers?

it feels good...

... to catch up wid old frens, enjoy a drink and listen to good ol' rock n' roll.

such a long time since the 3 of us came out together. we relieved distant days. shared our hopes, fears and dreams once again. brought back memories of innocence.

i gotta be careful about dwelling too much in the past but i jus cant help but look back wid nostalgia.

ang mo

super slack 2 days for me.. didnt noe dat a course in saf could be soooo enjoyable! haha imagine ending work at 11am for 2 days straight! woohoo!! and its back to scsc again. tis time not really lookin forward to it thou. cos (1) nscsc course starting liao = many many arrows and sai kang to do (2) jon is leaving the place. gonna be one less kaki in the gang next wk. tmr is gonna be officially his last day in scsc cos he'll be spending next wk on leave preparing for his year-long posting to brunei. wonder how tco is gonna survive w/o him ard. gonna be difficult.

went for my first theory lesson at bbdc today since i got half day off and i stopped by subway at the science park on the way back for dinner. the table beside mine had a local and a foreigner eating. after the ang mo finished his meal, he got up and picked up his tray along. the local looked puzzled and asked him to jus leave the tray on the table. now i dun noe if the rest of u guys noe this, but in western countries ppl are supposed to return their trays after their done eating. actually tis also applies to spore but most of us simply cant be bothered la. it got me thinking.. if a sporean left his tray on the table in a western country, wat would ppl tink of him? i mean we're so used to jus leaving the tray on the table cos it's our culture here but would the ppl in foreign countries noe?

also, i noe tis is a no-brainer, but i noticed that the ang mo understood every single word that the local said although the local spoke with a different accent. i tot abt music and realised it's the same thing. a single note can produce different sounds depending on the way the instrument is tuned and played. it's still the same note but it sounds different. then it got me tinking even further.. how radio stations like to edit songs and remove the solo bits. i always have the concept that solos are the other band members singing. jus like how the lead singer uses his vocals, the drummer, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, etc would sing by playing a solo. the voice is but jus another musical instrument. i dun blame them thou.. they have to cater to the general audience.
