A new year is upon us and a new beginning. Hopefully 2009 turns out to be a good year for me. Results, med app, ocs eligibility etc etc. 2008 shall be shed like a too-small-and-old exoskeleton and I shall have to grow into 2009. I don't buy into the bullshit of only NS being able to make me a man, 'coz they have enough man-children there itself. But I do hope that NS turns out to be a good experience - at the very least a sub-10 2.4! I think my resolution for he year would be to go cold turkey. Got more than enough time to do so. Jiayou me.

Note to self : Keep a straight head and look ahead.

I realised that just letting something out, can change the way you look at a person - even someone whom you've known all your life.

I sat at my keyboard with a vague notion of having something to say, but then it turned out to be mere word-wisps floating about in brain-soup.

I don't get the deal with our sense of fashion. What is wrong with our sartorial sense? Seriously, knee length boots with tights? And furry at that? How come no one told me anything about the climate change? Tights/leggings(whatever) - the obsession many seem to have with them is insane. Wear it with everything? That's just one of my peeves. Maybe I'm being anal - but Singaporeans hardly seem to know what to wear and what not to, whether they can carry it off or whether they can't; and probably are oblivious of their status as fashion victims. I don't have any (fatally misguided)ideas of being some sort of Tim Gunn - but at least I try to dress properly, and not follow the often blind flock. Tokyoites probably need to teach us a few things or two...

The delete button was pressed before time. But all in good time.

Pinstripes and squared-off points. The navy lined white, white waves on 48% silk - under eye-glamour soft incandescents. And top it all off with a fed. He - in his severe black wrapped blue. A holland snip and sip. tick tick tock boom.

While it lasted, it kept them at bay. Now that it is over, they're flooding back in. Probably take a barrage to stem the tide. Probably a single weed among the blossoms. And soon the green mud will wipe colors clean, maybe then...

Today was one of the worst days in a long time. One damn thing after another.
I could blame life, but I just guess it's my fault really.

They sure do taste salty.

4 weeks more to the day of reckoning. I really don't want to be the one who wakes up with nightmare of flunking the A's after they are over. I think i may just have to dig deep to find the ability to last through this stretch. Whatever that has passed comes to naught if I were to trip up now.

KS Bull is really demoralising.

Being among the RJ population sometimes only serves to put you in your place. Mine is pretty much down there.

Bland moral? Hmm so much for ability.

2 minutes is all it take for a phone to vanish. Great.

I'm minutes from midnight, and it doesn't seem to matter anymore. JUst another day apparently. Nothing to it. Don't see much worth in it. Speaking of worth, there ain't much of it in...either. Ha.

It's odd how people seem to care, only when they are affected directly or otherwise in any which matter.

It's been quite a while - but at least there are only a few more days after which it's sayonara. The maintenance of fixed distances is key. Arm's length - ideal space.

It's only today - and then back to the monkey grinder.

Herzog is currently a very identifiable character though for different reasons; from different circumstances.

Pork pie or fedora?

Now I'd rather any chair than that table. Big mistake.

6 movies in 3 days and counting. Interesting.

Long time since Neruda, maybe for a while.

Carpe diem. Sometimes it's good to just break though your insecurities and just do it.
