Ok, this is gonna be a long entry. Bear with me.
Today, I went out alone! Woooohooo!! I remember that the last time that I probably went out alone to town, I watched a movie where I met this weird Caucasian who stood up at the start of the movie and pointed hysterically at me, saying that he was leaving the theatre because of me. That was simply simply hilarious and stupid. I think the white ought to reflect on himself. What a weirdo. Lol, but it's ok. Weird things happen in this weird world. Hence the abbreviation WWW. Lmao.
Anyway, nothing unusual happened today besides the fact that I saw a man in the mrt with a headphone on. The headphone was dazzling with a light blue light in the form of a circular border. I just thought that it might explode sometime. Cos the flickering of the light seemed like the ticking of a bomb. Hahaha. But still.. blame it on technology. The bombardment of fanciful gadgets are a means of convenience, but it's taking away the purity of human communications! Where are all the snail-mails with pen-inked writings on scented papers? I missed writing to my old penpal from Korea last time. She was so cute. She even mailed me a Hello-Kitty crayon set on Christmas. Seriously. The good old kampong days were long gone. We are invaded by robots. And we are turning into them soon. Somebody, save us. On another note, we are all gonna die anyway. Why bother?
And even all these typing makes my fingers feel exhausted.
*Clears throat* Sorry for being carried away. Ok, back to how I spent my day today. I realised I really missed the taste of Tangy Tomato with Basil soup, though I just had it yesterday. So I went down to Raffles City The Soup Spoon restaurant and ordered a "grande" bowl of that, plus a tuna mayo sandwich. That eased my craving, a little. I simply can't have enough of tomatoes, and its variety! (Although there was this horror movie about tomatoes that go around killing people, which was rather lame).
Okok, so after that I headed down to Orchard and did a little shopping. Usually, when I shop, for clothings for example, I don't usually flip through them like how one plays a harp. I scan through quick and if something caught my eye, I will then start to strum on the harp. LOL. But yea, Singapore is like desperately trying to turn into a cosmopolitan country. For that effort, let's give a round of applause man. But then, GOOD TRY. It's a pity we are always following trends and not starting our own! Blame it on our puny-ness. But still, the people nowadays are especially conscious about their lifestyle. They slog their asses off and they splurge on branded labels. Talking about a vicious cycle. What a vicious way to spend your moolah!
Oh man, spare a thought for those in army like poor me.. $450 a month to survive on what...? I slog my ass off to defend the country. And all I get is puny allowance, torn relationships, strandedness, alienation... Not to mention pimple plantation! >.<
Talks to self: Stop whining you ass!
*Returns to calm composure*And besides that, I browsed for books. Haven't been really reading until I came to army. Sometimes it just gets so boring I just need to read man. And I have been reading quite a bit. I have completed 4 novels so far, considering the fact that I've been busy with all those mind-boggling-body-shaking trainings. But then, the books I have read are good reads man. Yup, I'm into literature fiction nowadays. And I'm really loving it. Here are a few recommendations by yours truly.
Everything is Illuminated by Johnathan Safran Foer.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Johnathan Safran Foer.
The Society of Others by William Nicholson.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon.
I shall not mention anything on their sypnosies. For those of you who know me and think you trust my taste, go read these books. Thank me later ya.
Alright, I better end this long entry here.
And for those who needs a chill pill or a laughing pill, either way, look for Miss Swan. You can see her on Youtube.com All you need to do is search for her. She will brighten up your day.
And for now, I thank you for your attention.
