Rants and Wants and thoughts

Can you believe it?! I actually stayed at home on a Saturday!!! Oh yeah, it must have been one of the few Saturdays where I practically stayed home. Usually I would definitely hang out somewhere in town with my friends. But yeah, as you could have guessed, there's only one reason that's stopping me from going out today. I'm broke.

HAHAHA I'm already laughing at my pathetic-ality. Seriously. I remember a friend once told me that being in the arts industry is like a sitting on a see-saw. There are times you go up and there are times you go down. So when you are up, you get filthy rich. If you are down, you might just be dirt broke. For me, I don't really think I'm that sort of person who would want to live a career life with a 8 to 5 job. That is too stifling. Too suffocating. And I would never want to do admin work. I would rather go for hard labour and move those freaking heavy stuff if I had to, honestly speaking. Actually, I thought I would want a more adventurous career path. So I'm going to settle down with some business and get on with my music stuff at the same time. So on one hand you might just see me wearing that business suit, on the other hand you can picture seeing me with my hair down(if there's much hair) and pounding away furiously on the electronic keyboard or piano. The possibilities are endless. I think I need to make it happen though. HAHAHA. I think being in the army has made me WANT things so badly.

So here are my WANTS for now...

CASH
GOOD JOB
PERFORMING OPPORTUNITIES

Oh my, ooh lala, I can't imagine I actually sound like some practical freak.

The other day we were on a coach on our way to SAFTI, my sergeant major came to sit beside me. He was talking to my front and back and side and they were discussing about buying PSP and what not. Gaming stuff. Then he turned to ask me if I play games. I said "No" without a pause. So he asked me what I was doing back in bunk where he saw me scribbling on a book. I told him I was writing poetry. And he gave me the "Wow" expression. Seriously, I also don't know why I like to write poems or sketch or whatever. It's like really avenues of expression for me. I seek solace in these avenues. Just as much as I'm playing on the piano or just belting out any song. I guess people do change.

I used to indulge in game playing a lot in the past. However, I just can't afford to get myself hooked again, since I know I have already so minimal of bookout time. That's why I always avoid going to LAN gaming. But I still can't forget the idea of grabbing the latest Command and Conquer 3!! Haha. Wait till I get my next pay!

I realise I enjoy running at night. Recently while slacking away in camp, I would go for occasional runs in camp at night. The tranquility of night time really draws me. And the night breeze is just so comforting. Talking about running, I'm thinking of going gyming or swimming this Monday or Tuesday since I'll be having off! Yeah.

I chatted with an acquaintance over MSN yesterday. He is like 30 years old or so. I was jokingly asking him when he's getting married. And he's telling me he's still waiting for the right one to settle down. Then he was unabashedly telling me that there are actually female counterparts after him. So I asked him why not pick one from the list? He replied me, "You don't know guys huh? Easy targets are not satisfying." Something like that. Haha that's really bingo. As in, I used to think that way too. Not as if there are many targets around, but yeah, that's probably why I don't rush into getting on.

But to think of it, the wonders of human mind. How amusing society has caused our pattern of thoughts to differ. In terms to men vs women. The ever-going-on Battle of the Sexes. And men are supposed to be Martians while women are supposed to be some Venusian?!

Oh oh, but I think I might have just have someone in mind.

Keep it a secret, would ya?

I agree that an 8 to 5 job is stifling. Unless u are like passionate abt yr job.

I wont like to do either admin or hard labour. And I doubt u will (should)..

I think everyone seeks these 3 requisities in a job, just depending on which of them takes the highest priority.

Glad u are having off. Pity Im busy on both days' evenings, otherwise we may be able to meet up.
