t.o.w. you (me) don't fit

Today is a very bad day. I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Almost everyone had a great deal part in irating me today. Since that doesnt happen too often I guess its just me and my big butt emotions at work. Not quite the day to engage in lively discussion about topics or try to sell and pitch your idea across to me. I must thank some people for mediating and being generally nice though. I must say I never would have thought it possible a while ago. But anyway, I don't think anyone gravely stepped on my toes today except for that one person that was once again his irritating self. Heh. =D Everytime I say that I feel a great sense of pride and joy. But yeah, he spends a great deal of time in his own reverie and acts like he knows a lot when all he knows is actually diddlysquat about one main thing that is seriously of NO INTEREST to the general public so he should quit trying to glorify the idea because seriously no one outside that circle of thought understands nor comprehends the stupidity behind the entire rara motion. Anyway! In short, he knows nothing and will be the first one fired on Apprentice. I couldnt be more clear about the person's identity now. I feel accomplished. Muahaa.

Hmm. I havent had that much time to blog lately but recently I've gotten rather solemn and quiet. I think I'm just tired. Sometimes I really don't get group dynamics. It just pisses me off that people should actually be submissive all the time while some others just free ride on a boutful of different hormones and get away with it. If you ask for equality then step up and toughen up. Your mule'ful ways are irritating.

Argh. Too much negative energy.

On a whole other different note, I watched Brokeback Mountain and found it to be the best theatrical delight ever. To have expressed so many themes in the short span of the text really makes Anne Proulx a great writer, Ang Lee a great director and Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhal two very talented actors. I watched it last week into the wee hours of the morning and was too tired to think about the show after it ended. But the next day, the excellence of execution in the film really took me by storm and I spent an entire chemistry lecture thinking up the themes and issues behind the mostly homosexual flick. For the most part, the film is actually rather entirely straight because I don't even think the word homosexual or gay was conned up then. People just thought of it as being queer. But more seriously, I think the book and film has done their part in spreading the message that the desire to love is a free will. That was done really tastefully. Another thing that struck me as being delightfully expressed was the need to keep up with social appearances. That, even in a non-homosexual light seems really relevant to our lifes and how we live it. Just today I was wondering how sometimes social graces are more often than not hypocritical and that we don't necessarily are in line with what we speak when out of courtesy. But upon watching the show and of course after today's multitude of horryifing events, I have come to the conclusion that though hypocritical, social graces should still be observed because it makes the world slightly more breathable. Yes that includes you two prickheads. Thank you Anne Proulx. I read the text a bit and the poignant ending really got me going. My tear ducts were drained by lethargy so I couldnt cry but I was in short, emotionally overwhelmed. Great great great. People who go into the cinema and only come out feeling like the 2 dudes look really good together obviously don't think much. Shudder at the thought of their gen'one.

Woo! Finally got that out. Oh but wait. There are a multitude of amazing quotes in the book and movie and my favourite one was "a pretended place where blue birds sing and theres' a whiskey spring". That said in a southern drawl is a freaking good line. And my favourite live quote was "Jack, I swear.." in the very last scene. That was real good too.

Anyway. I feel like watching it all over again. Haha.

Had competition yesterday! Haha, here are our results!

Girls Category 1st - Joy Feng
Girls Category 2nd - Sheena Yap
Under 18 Age Group 1st - Kenneth Low!

Haha, the above information is highly dubious because Joy and Sheena were the only girls in the entire competition and I was the only male teenager. But then even though I was up against all the old uncles who've probably bowled even before I was concieved, I think I still did good. Haha. At least we got to "compete" at Yishun Safra for real at least so we won't be nervous wrecks when it comes to nationals then. Haha. And I think I've made good progress! Haha. My last competition in June last year was a total flop and I only hit 128 avg. Haha. My avg yesterday was 151. I think thats good seeing as how I'm still a bit of a noob. And I'm quite happy because I've now bowled 11 games without going below 134. Very happy indeed. I must learn how to pick off pin ten on the right approach at safra though. The bloody ball feeder is damn irritating. Boo. All in all, I'm happy with the competition. Haha. I was on such a high that I could study late into the night for chem test today. Hmm, maybe that was why I was so cross today. I need more sleep. Haha. Oh. Another price to pay is the aching arm. I'm not joking, try bowl 8 games in a row and I tell you your hands will drop off. Yea yea. Sheena we conquered another mountain!

Haha. Everyone should check out Sheena's entry on the competition here . It is hilarious.

Ok. I'm a mess now. I think I'm too provocative in this entry.

Too bad people, eat shit, live sad and beg for ungranted pity.

t.o.w. racomonac

Ahh. Finally I am free.

I think tomorrow will be the first time in 3 weeks that I'm coming back from school when the sun hasn't set yet. Incredibly busy week but all in all a good rewarding week.

Vday was good. A lot of chocolates. I really don't mind that people get me good chocs for Vday. At least I'll get to fully enjoy it. Haha. Anyway, thanks for Ade, Wenyi, Sheena, Janice, Elaine, Nicole, Youxin, Alison, Xuyan, Meiyi, Yuqin, Juli and Guanyin and anyone else if I might have missed you out for the presents. I must give Juli special mentioned because the sweetest dear actually bothered to remove all the carrots from a bag of mixed veggies and then boiled the remaining peas and corns and gave it to me to symbolise the purity of our supposed "love" as our respective sweet pea and sweet corn aliases. Haha. My "sweet pea" is really sweet. Oh. And then my other hehheh, Xuyan gave me meiji chocs that had this nice engraving on it but what she said after our lonely singles outing at KAP was also a great present. =) And on friday, I made a new wife! Xiang Yu! Production manager. Haha. My my, I must curb my polygamic ways.

Talking about dramafeste, thats the main reason why I'm reaching home at about 11 everyday. Ahh. Props were done a long time ago but we were fine-tuning scene transistions and repairing the props. Heck of a busy week but I must say it was extremely fun. Even though for the the first time in my life I was coerced into waking up at 430 in the morning to study for the wretched econs timed assignment, which by the way I woke up to prepare the WRONG question so I'm pretty much prepared to fail anyway. But on thursday during dramafeste 1, the scene changes really were flawless and I must say the entire ares dramafeste team was so hyped up about what Mr. Parry said to us after the first show. He said, "In the 7 years of dramafeste history, your's is the best play I've seen." And that really means a lot cos' even though I didnt play a significant part in the entire production, but the simple fact that I was part of this historic team made the victory on Friday seem ever so sweet. Of course, the fact that we won best ensemble probably meant the most to me. Plus the fact that Mr. Parry came in again after Friday to thank us for setting the benchmark for dramafeste. Now that really was the icing on top of the cake. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the entire dramafeste experience has simply been rewarding. Not to mention that I got to know my junior class better and made better friends out of acquaintances. I'm really pleased.

Now, its back to the mundaneness of school life. Which at this point of time, I actually miss and need. I need structure badly. Tons of lagging tutorials though. Argh. Time time time, I still need time.

I'm an emotional wreck. Best left to self-destruct.

t.o.w. the rush rush rush

Ahh. The week has been a great whirl.

I don't even remember living out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Silly dramafeste (with all the silly politics) and silly shopping (with all the silly prices) has really taken up bulk of the week.

I don't even have time to blog lah.

I need time. Time. Time. Time. More time.

Now thats the answer to everything.

Boo. I'm confused.

Anyway, I only remember training on wednesday. It was damn fun cos it was gossip day and we were sharing juicy gossips. We were literally running down the approach, ball in hand and then tearing back to the chairs to know more. Haha. I bowled fine that day. Managed to close 7 straight frames. Quite happy. Zhiyong suggested that I hang a bagua on the lane during nationals. Heh. Bowling training rocks.

Went to town on Wednesday to get Vday stuff with Sheez the Peez the Miz and then again on Friday with Ade. ARGH. I'm dead. I spent about 175 on all my vday gifts. Thats a substantial amount of my angbao money and thats a 300% increase from my original stingy budget. But I really like every single present I bought. They all mean something. Haha. And then the hand-made gifts too, although I seriously think I don't have time to finish everything.

The essay I wrote today, I really like. It might just be the most sound essay I've written content wise.

I feel like I'm no longer blogging on fun.

Truthfully, I want normal.

t.o.w. the bad lasagne

I am suffering from the runs.

Must be the shit lasagne from friday's JTS at spageddies. Haha. The cheese was damn thick and strong lah. I did not enjoy my beef lasagne. Haha. I actually think I'm a stupid cheena boy trying to pass off as an angmor trying to be an italian cuisine extraordinairre. I am a cheapo fake. Haha. Anyway. JTS was quite fun. Shared a table with chaopong, qingliang, youxin, elaine, peishan, wenhui, huijin and yunpei. Haha. Was quite fun lah. Wenhui makes a lot of dumb comments but they turn out quite funny. Huijin only goes aaaarrrggghhhhhh when she tios the MRT game. Peishan still looks like a lost lamb. Elaine treated me to the awful lasagne but thanks anyway. Heh. Youxin is as dumb as me in wanting to play the stupid niwota game. And Yunpei knows her food cos she ordered the best dish at the table. Haha. Yea. The juniors are nice. Best thing is they will be in dramafeste too so thats more fun.

I think I feel younger when I'm with the juniors. Today I was standing in front of the bathroom mirror and I notice that my skin is starting to sag. Things are no longer where they used to be. I am very sad. I am not even 18. I havent event finished puberty and I am ageing.

Today I was at Ikea with Yuqin shopping for props for dramafeste. Her mom is damn nice and fun. Haha. And then I ate a double cheese. I miss the burger from the airport in Korea. AHH. I love burgers. Nothing better than cheese and beef. Anyway. Dramafeste is going to kill me. I am positively sure. This week we are going to have to stay back to 7++ and then next week its 9++. AHHHH. I am going to flunk BT1. Hai.

Oh. In other news, I have decided to lose weight after I found a second chin protruding from the first. CNY rocks but the aftermath is quite terrible.

Oh. Went to visit estelle at ben n jerrys at united square. I bought this sorbet splash drink and she took eternity to make it cos' she didnt know how to do it. Haha. And then at one point she lost the blender cover. Haha. Estelle rocks. But seriously, everyone should support the girl with the best laugh in OBK.

I am Sebil Trawlawney. The great soothsayer. Jiggly Jiggly Jiggle Poo.
