Innocence Given Away.

September 30, 2008

I made a commitment to the book today;

gave it a part of me that no one can see.

People who know, they dun believe…

that I finally gave it away.

but I’m not sure of wad the book wants in return.

—————————————————–

It was a wild wild night yesterday…totally spontaneous, totally unexpected, yet no regrets altogether. The time spent with Pei Yi was surreal and till now I’m still kinda unsure if it really happened. I’d love to seal the deal with her and work to make it happen, but my insecurity questions me.

I gonna face her and ask for a proper answer for our actions…as I’ve already made my stand from the start.

To make it clear, I make decisions for myself and not to spite others who have chosen to leave my influence.

Lover’s Spit.

September 28, 2008

All these people drinking lover’s spit
They sit around and clean their face with it
And they listen to teeth to learn how to quit
Tied to a night they never met

You know it’s time
That we grow old and do some shit
I like it all that way

All these people drinking lover’s spit
Swallowing words while giving head
They listen to teeth to learn how to quit
Better take some hand and get used to it

You know it’s time
That we grow old and do some shit
I like it all that way

I’d love to make a drink called Lover’s Spit. No matter how horrible its gonna taste; you’ll still wanna drink. Coz its from your lover =X

—————————————

Today was a tough day. I had a tense morning waiting until 2pm so make sure that there was no Mobilisation and so while waiting I made onigiri for Pei Yi. The whole journey to Taka’s Zara was filled with self doubt…should I pass it to her in the shop? Will it be awkward? Will she reject it? Will she even eat it?

So I came to realise…these thoughts only appear when you have put come commitment into the person. I didn’t feel it when I did such thigs for frens or people I dun feel for…so I figured it was good stress. Anyways the real deal was much easier…she accepted it with a smile and seemed really glad. She was kinda surprised that I actually made it instead of buying it.

The rest of the day went downhill after that…coz halfway while I had dinner with her…Ron showed up for our meeting. I asked him to give me some time with her (like about 30mins) to finish the dinner with her and well…by the time we were done, he’d blown his top and went home on his bike and blew me a sms about me pangseh-ing him for a girl.

I dunno wad the big fuss was about…esp since we never had a problem with waiting for each other. Everyone is behaving funny recently…am I not suppose to be interested in new people/girls? Can I not have a chance to date someone? Or am I really pushing the limit?

So after I sent Pei Yi back to work…I walked around and bumped into Belle and Hannah. The 2 girls were dumbfounded actually…coz apparently they had just been talking about me. I tagged along their shopping trip (Belle was getting a dress) but they didn’t find any good ones. Throughout the trip…a nagging feeling at the back of my head, urged me to pull out and take off. Just go off, go away. Some shit’s about to happen…but I chose to ignore it. Then Belle mentioned she was gonna find Mark @ TCC.

We all went up…and she sneaked up upon him and hugged him from the back. Mark and I exchanged formalities but that was about it. I could already see the “old me” . They stepped out of the TCC area, hand in hand, Mark holding her waist and Belle’s grin.The topic was the biggest blow…she was taking him back home to visit her parents or something.

To sum it all : Don’t pick at your scabs until you’re sure your wounds are fully healed.

I paid a visit to Xiao Qing at Check…and we caught up with each other…a hearty good talk that took most of the bitterness away. She gave me a few words of advice on life and the way I lived my own : The 3rd party sees the clearest. So take stuff with a pinch of salt.

I couldn’t help but feel those words ringing inside my head…as I sat quietly in a dark corner of Orchard Rd, nursing my coffee and cigg, not unable but unwilling to face the maddening crowd.

Half Nelson

September 26, 2008

If i did anything right today…it defintely wasn’t the outing with Fong Shun, the failed cooking of japanese rice, the nice clothes I saw today while shopping at Vivo,the movie (The Days) Fong Shun and I caught, the meet up with Kha nor the split second meeting of Xin Lei at her workplace.

It is the 1 hour spent watching Half Nelson. The only constant is change and sadly between trying to change the world and realising he can’t – the movie protrays a struggle of a 8th grade teacher in the ghettos and his drug problem.

This movie is good food for thought and I tink you all should give it a chance. A quality 1hr plus of your life…so why not. In fact its gonna be on TV (Art Central) next month…

———————————

The new chapter has shaken me a little…I realise in my own actions, tat I’m afraid to commit anything now. So even though Oct is gonna be damn busy for me…I’m gonna take the 1st step and cook something for her.

I can only pray she doesn’t vomit and die from my cooking. lol!

Sharing Is Caring.

September 25, 2008

My dear fren, please learn to share.

I doesn’t mean tat I don’t care.

Give me time to chase my dreams;

and in return you’ll see me beam 🙂

—————————————————

Another good outing with her 🙂 Like a book, every chapter holds new twists.

I really hope the ending is good.

Paralympics.

September 24, 2008

Copywriting : Alvin

Photoshop : Rustin

————————————–

The concept was grown from a different idea altogether. My 1st Ad idea was to create a background of a basketball match involving disabled basketball players.

The eye catcher was to have one of the player doing a slam dunk. Imagine! A disabled basketball player! Slam Dunk!?!?

This got Rustin,Lester and I into debate and we thought up of more sports which could be made into such “amazing” formats. So we came up with this.

Paralympic Long Jump. Its not an actual event…but its more of a spoof ad.

I wish to add that no malicious intent was intended for this picture and that I’m very proud of our country’s disabled athletes. Cheers to our Gold Medalist winners 🙂

The Forbidden Name.

September 24, 2008

It was a good day. Please note tat I said was.

Because after a day of good sales and nice customers, no managers around and everything right down to the closing was perfect…until Cecilia showed up. At 930pm no doubt. Trying to clear the shop of customers plus running around, trying to settle her self proclaimed alteration mistake suit for her husband is utterly crazy.

To his benefit , the husband was a very nice chap. No airs , no trouble, no problem. Total opposite for the wife. Complained about the stitching for the lining *who the fuck bothers about stitching on the lining unless its about to tear?* and some small hole puncture at the shoulders. Nvm that we already blown the matter sky high to senior management level….she can still say :”I’m not trying to cause trouble.”

If its not trouble you are causing…please enlighten me…WHAT IS IT?

In the end…she decided on a suit that I did not have size for in the pants and I have to call around for size again tml. I dunno how the hell she is gonna make it in time for the wedding since it is suppose to be next week, considering we need a week for alterations.

This is one customer I would gladly return her $458 and tell her I dun mind NOT earning her money.

———————————————-

There used to be this one person, who I could share such annoying work issues with.

And she in return will give me the comfort that I seek.

I loved her for it, although I loved her for more than just this alone.

But she’s gone.

Level 89.

September 19, 2008

I went to cut my hair today…and managed to find a coveted item on my to-buy-list.

Met up with Pu Yi at Bugis and we shopped and ate before we head for Vivo.

We bought Tickets for Mirrors and visited Khalisa @ Pull & Bear.The shopping was something new becoz she is one of those who actually wears dresses and I’m now forced to visit places like Valerie and a bunch of girly named shops.

Ber came all the way down to Vivo to pass me my PSP and I grabbed the chance to introduce the 2 girls to each other. Now at least Ber has a face to the name of the person I’m raving about.

The movie was not bad…and the self-proclaimed “fearless” Pu Yi spent a gd half of the show in my shoulders. The ending was somehow…similiar to a movie I’ve watched before.

Its been a while since I actually saw the lovely evening sun and its glory.

And of coz, the company that you keep, plays a good part in making those times nice.

Kha, Pu Yi and I chilled at the top level till it was night…chatting away. Kha went off earlier leaving us 2 to discover more about each other. The time spent was good…I got to know her more, figured out her family background.

It was just…nice. And I haven’t had nice in a long long time.

Twisted Fate.

September 18, 2008

How weird is Fate?

I bumped into Fong Yi from Pull&Bear while on the train home…we came up from different escalators and realised we were looking right at each other. So we decided to have dinner together at the Kopitiam nearby…

We chatted about work and everyone else from the training class…Turns out everyones’ been fine and dandy…and only Pu Yi, Xin Lei , Fong Shun and I have been meeting. The rest barely kept contact hahaha!

I told her about Pu Yi and my plans but only vaguely…She seemed to understand, but its ok if she doesn’t! I dun wan her to go about telling her! lol
