It Looms

The count down timer is frantically slicing seconds away, and all of a sudden, I’m no longer a civilian.

Despair or not, I still have to enlist, so might as well enjoy it.

I’m leaving behind the comfort of a noisy family and the sweet love of my girlfriend, but I know they’ll be looking forward to each weekend when I go home.

To my girl, don’t cry but smile. Its a test for us both, remember what I’ve told you countless of times. I’ll be looking forward to your flood of texts. Be a good student and weekends we’ll spend quality time together. (:

A day more to go. Here I come.

PS. Leopard please!

Ages Till The Next Post

The blog title is pretty random. The first phrase that came to my mind, and down it went.

I’m am pretty much not doing anything now, wasting my life as my enlistment date draws near. In other words, I’m fucking around.

Talking bout enlisting, I had a dream bout my life in BMT. The dream was pretty interesting, but I doubt it will that way.

Hah I just killed a bloody mosquito! Die Bitch!

continuing.. I’m looking forward to army. Then finally I can join in with the conversations my friends are always having. It should be fun in a way, how bad can it really get? I’ll be going in with a right frame of mind, and hopefully, I’m thoroughly prepared.

This year, I’ll be looking for more friends than enemies, so people whom I’ve wronged in the past, I promise I’ll not be hostile. Life is too short for me to go around making enemies.

This blog post is jumping around randomly, just for the record.

New Year shopping. Isn’t going the way I wanted it to. I shortlisted some apparels with good deals but now their sold out. Price was affordable, and now I have to hunt for other alternatives. Y-3 has effectively been ruled out, but only for the time being. I thought of a plain red scarf, but haven’t found any suitable. Hermes sells them though.

I’ll just stop here.

Bye all.

Shop shop shop. I sense aching feet baby!

None Quite Like 09

New Decade

The time now is 1:44am. I’m at home, with my family, not with friends for the first time. My friends? God knows where they are, heard they’re clubbing. It pays to be different. But the new year, I’m gonna stay different. That’s a big resolution. People conform under peer pressure, under trends, so staying different isn’t as easy.

The cross over was smooth. My phone didn’t even ring once from all those new year texts. Not that I bother bout it, but it seems kinda strange.

I’m not gonna make resolutions, but instead goals. Why? Because everyone forgets bout their resolutions they made a couple of months later. Me included. So what’s the point seriously? It ain’t entirely that auspicious, is it?

So some goals for myself for the new decade.

1. To stay unique to no one but myself.
2. Make it into OCS.
3. Divide time equally and wisely for family, Rene and friends.
4. Increase my level of fitness.
5. Fill my wardrobe with new clothes. THIS IS A GOAL! Y-3 especially.

To you & you & you too, and everyone else, Happy New Year.

Empire State

Before I start, take time to enjoy this video by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys

Come the New Year, I’ll be embarking on another kind of life. National Service before joining the work force. Currently, my next step to take after National Service is still pretty unclear. Not that I’m not ambitious enough, its just that two years is rather long, and many things are gonna undergo rapid changes, example, the local economy, the demand for workers, etc.

And that brings me to the main point. To pursue a job that pays $1600/- a month, slog in it for an entire lifetime hoping to get promoted or to pursue a dream, a passion.

“In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’s nothing you can do. Now you’re in New York, these streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you.” A chunk off the chorus.

New York sounds appealing, so is everything else. I’ll just have to live one day at a time.

Let It Snow

I had a dream, about you.

You were by the garden of our house, wearing a night gown under a black trench coat, shovelling snow off the walk-way.

And I was the snow, falling all around you. And each time I fell onto the ground, you’d scoop me up gently.

I love you Rene.

Festivity

The last six days of every year is usually accompanied by such serenity. The streets are a tad more peaceful. The atmosphere often laid back. I would’ve wished that it would snow in Singapore. It would be the perfect way to unwind and end the year.

Festivity coupled with a good company is always heart warming. Pity I wasn’t American, because I would very much like to experience spending Thanksgiving in a warm, cosy house. Well its all just a thought.

Either way, here’s wishing all a Happy New Year in advance, and I hope you had a Merry Christmas. Cheers.

Almost Too Whimsical

It was almost too good to be true. A twist of fate, foe to friends, no wait, frenemy is right term I guess.

Whimsical’s the right word, surprisingly whimsical.

Obsessions

What happens when you have a boyfriend who is so ever obsessed with jackets, and mind you, not some Topman hoodie. A boyfriend who sets his goal on a pair of red Y-3 jacket that costs a thousand bucks. Well just ask Rene how she handles it. Winks.

Food For Thought

I screamed “This is so bloody hell!” when I saw the outrageous crowds at Dhoby Ghaut station.

What does “This is so bloody hell” mean actually? Someone enlighten me please. It was all in the spur of the moment. Laughs.
