i can feel a hot one
i'm twenty. it suddenly dawned upon me today that i'm actually twenty years old already. and twenty is freakin freakin freakin OLD. i'm officially into my first step of adulthood. like what i told sihan, i haven't ran through a field filled with flowers, nor have i made angels (HAHA not butterflies!) in the snow! and adults don't do such stuff anymore right right right. we're supposed to be cool sleek and sophisticated individuals ready to rule the world. sigh i'm going through a quarter life crisis. the future is bleak :(
anyway i'm on course now. which basically means i sit in front of the computer from 8 to 5 everyday, spending three quarters of the time stoning/sleeping in front of the screen, and the remaining quarter reading newspapers/eating breakfast/and desperately trying to find ways to entertain ourselves. we've discovered how use the pen function in powerpoint to vandalise the slides, and my fren used paint to draw a wallpaper for his desktop. sadly mindef computers don't have ANY games at all. not even solitare okay. those ppl are evil bastards. they delete every single source of entertainment u can get from a computer. so i guess i'll just have to entertain myself by designing cool new wallpapers. extreme boredom causes people to do werid weird things eh.
and since the place where i'm on course is super near ubi driving centre, it's always nostalgic when the bus passes by. and every single time i try to find my instructor's car on the circuit. well it's been almost a week since i've gotten my orange triangle, and to be honest i kinda miss driving lessons. even though they were a pain in the ass and my instructor wasn't being very nice most of the time. somehow the feeling of driving a manual car with an instructor next to you is damn good, especially when u're doing the circuit late at night when they're no cars around. the serenity of the circuit juxtaposed with the huge busy roads outside gives u comfort. u feel like u're in total control of the car and the roads. okay nvm tt was my feeble attempt trying to be intellectual hahaha. oh wells everything's over now, and i guess i won't get to see my instructor ever again. haha it's quite a pity, these are the people whom impact your life significantly, yet they disappear after their job's done. told you this is a sad sad world. the world is bleak.
and to be honest it isn't a very good feeling driving my dad's car, cos after all it's my dad's car and he owns the vehicle, not me. there will come a day when i dent or scratch his car, and i haven't really thought of how awkward it wld be to break the news to him, and to be thick skinned enough to continue taking the keys from him. but everyone falls when learning how to ride a bike, just like how everyone will dent the car some day. even lewis hamilton (lol no pun intended). so it's like driving a ticking time bomb, and i don't really like it.
the future is bleak. the world is warped. and i'm having a quarter life crisis :(

i think i'm the luckiest person on earth. considering how i drove, it would take a miracle for me to pass.

hoho i just watched 28 weeks later last sat. i knw it's a super old movie but when u're doing 24 hour duty on a saturday the only thing u can really do is watch movies asnd sleep. and not forgetting how the stupid dvd player hanged on me during the last part of slumdog unneh so now i've to get the movie from ben the pirate king. hahahaa
anyway 28 weeks later is freakin cool. doomsday movies are always cool cos the visuals are astounding. well it's basically some sequel of 28 days later (which i haven't watched haha) where everyone in london gets infected from this rage virus which will cause you to start biting and killing everyone u see. before long everyone gets infected and after awhile everyone died of starvation and the virus got contained within london. so the sequel shows how the military starts rebuilding the city bit by bit and getting people back to dwell in the new city. and the visuals are super cool u get to see the entire london in bits and pieces, and how they set up contamination zones and all these stuff.
and the whole idea of this virus and containment is really very real if u come to think of it, which makes this movie even scarier and much much more realistic than senseless zombie movies. pandemics do happen and they are actually happening, like bird flu and sars, and we're just waiting for something which wld turn us into senseless killing rage infected people. hahaha. it's like i am legend, stunning graphics and an interesting plot which leaves much room for thought. what if this really happens in future?
the future is bleak eh.

in my field of paper flowers, and candy clouds of lullaby.
well i think i've been to absorbed in my little own world of helicopters that i'm becoming nonchalant to the world and it's gossips and happenings. well for once i found out how outdated during our impromptu odac gathering on the very disappointing vday. yes tye u shld update me more often and not drop bombshells. hahaha.
anyway in a bid to reminisce my childhood days (or perhaps i'm really damn bored and sad at home haha), i'm actually watching teen titians on okto! and to be honest it's really quite exciting and funny, and the themes are actually quite dark. wah seh cartoons now adays are getting more and more chim. and today was the last episode of teen titans and i specially made it a point to sit in front of the tele at 7pm sharp to catch every single minute of it. hahaha so much for being twenty. and i'm gonna miss teen titans from tmr onwards! or maybe i shld continue entertaining myself with gossip girl. okay that's a totally random paragraph about my utterly sad and boring life now hahahaha.
and here's a meaningful quote from my fellow technician:"people who are able to plan their schedules have control of their lives. but being the lowest lifeform, u're not really in control of anything in your life so you should just give up and resign to fate." sad but true! u see army doesn't make you dumb, it makes u philosophical! u start to see life and society and the world from a metapoint of view. like in lit u have mirco, macro and meta themes, u have that in life too! i call it the god's eye view. well i'm not saying i'm god, perhaps demi godly :)
but what i can't stand most is people who read those inspirational quote books and try to learn and memorise from all the amazing testimonies inside. for goodness sake are you that hopeless in life that u need such quotes to guide u and make u feel intellectual? it's like those inspirational talks or those "how to be a billionaire" talks. get a life man. and i'm an inspiration myself. why bother with such quotes? hoho i have a huge huge ego and i'm proud of it :)
the world is warped.

the players change, but the game remains the same.
one year and 2 days ago was the fateful day where we all got back our results. actually i wanted to post this on friday, but i never got the time. anyway this weekend was quite a nostalgic experience. friday morning was like a trip down memory lane. still remembered how sihan woke me up at 9 (haha see i still rmbr the timing okay) to tell me she and drey got 3As, and den drop the bomb of my life by telling me my results. well it certainly killed my mood to go back to sleep, but for a good reason haha. and the rest of the day was spent light heartedly!. haha sihan i owe u a big thank you for sparing me from all the trouble of finding out my results myself in the afternoon. i think the stress and pressure alone can decrease my lifespan by 2 years. so u actually save 2 years of my life. LOL. god has certainly been graceful and kind to me. everything went quite smoothly after that, despite the fact i went for my law interview with a bald head thick black spectacles and office attire, fresh from tekong. that has certainly got to be one of the lowest points in my life. i still rmbred how one the interview helpers was someone from my senior class and she rmbred me (honestly i rather she not). and how she told her frens that "he's the guy who's always with audrey, wah he looks so different now." yeah i know i look like a special needs kid thank you. hahaha. oh and not forgetting how badly i screwed up the interview. and how i turned up at the wrong place for my admission test and my dad had to drive from bukit timah to kent ridge in 10 mins. i've never seen my dad drove so fast before. i'm just glad it's all over. not just tekong, but the entire notion of getting back results and applying for uni. like wad i've said earlier, god has been kind to me. i'm not one of those god loving folks who would go around proclaiming to the world bout the good news, but sometimes u just gotta believe that there's a greater force that's in control of your life.
went back to vj on saturday for victorian's day. actually vday was just an excuse to meet up with all the odac ppl, but out of 22 only a miserable 5 turned up. and to add to our disappointment, vday was really crap. the most important mass dance wasn't there at all, it's just bloody sad. anyway, going back to school never felt that nostalgic before. the canteen with the nicest chicken rice on earth, the drinks stall which has the best ice milo, the corridors outside the staff room where i used to discuss my h3 essay with mr harris (and feeling more and more inferior with every word he and renee said. HAHA yes renee your discussions with harris are always so much more profound and complex than my theme on betrayal and atonement LOL) the classrooms where we mugged like crazy, and doing equally crazy stuff as well. spending 2 hours watching la bi xiao xin on youtube, stalking ppl on friendster (facebook wasn't cool at that time), throwing tables and chairs around when we got angsty, and getting the kicks out of tataric.blogspot.com. hahaha those were the days man, the early beginnings of the click five! and finally the odac room! a real life drama serial itself. hahaha.
anyway! this is a repost to the last post cos i found a more updated picture of our dear fren. so HAPPY TWENTY ONCE AGAIN FARRELL CHAN SEORANG!
if looks could kill, we would all be dead by now.

HAPPY TWENTY FARRELL CHAN SEORANG!
i think u're one of the longest living fishes around, and i still owe u a treat at fish and co. all u can eat fried dory fishes, shrimps and calamari rings. hahahaha. happy birthday bro! sigh age is catching up with all of us. to be honest this is the only birthday in my life that i actually dreaded, cos i dun wanna be twenty. i haven't lived nineteen long enough, or perhaps army has wasted away my nineteen, and i can foresee it's gonna waste my twenty away as well.
anyway! i knw it's been a long time since i've updated this place. have been kinda lazy these past few weeks, and sometimes u just get sian of blogging. i rather facebook, though i've no idea how facebook sucks up 2 hours of my daily internet usage. i think i'm the largest facebook stalker.
this weekend has been a pleasant one! met up with the click 5 to celebrate chan seorang's birthday, and how we gave up an ultra cheap seafood buffet cos our dear fren had something against eating his own kind. cannibalism. funny though cos i tot fishes eat other fishes. so in the end we settled for pizza hut which was a far cry from the black pepper chilli crab at the seafood buffet. see farrell we blood sia. hahaha.
lunch buffet with family today. this is the first time in my entire twenty years that i ate so much, cos the food there was just damn bloody good. i'm not quite sure bout the price though, but it's on dad's tab so i'm not worrying bout that! :) ate til i couldn't even sit, and my stomach was literally aching from the amount of food i managed to pack inside. and i skipped dinner cos i was still super full at night. that's how much i ate during lunch. haha i'm gonna have to run like a mad dog this week to burn off all the nonsense that i ate today!
and driving has become a damn big bitch. i'm 3 weeks to my tp but i've zero confidence in passing. driving a car in real life is just so different from driving my super charged twin turbo lamborghini in need for speed. for starters u dun get to accelerate at the speed of light and drive like u own the entire road. and somehow lamborghinis have much smoother gear transition than real life nissan sunnys. and the one thing i get damn pissed off is i feel super small and insignificant when i'm in the driver's seat. just the other day my driving instructor opened the back door and showed me that the car almost hit the curb. he ask me if i knw that the car was about to hit the curb and i stared at him blankly. like how the fuck am i supposed to know whether the right rear wheel is gonna hit the curb? i dun have eyes outside of the car much less next to the rear wheels. if i really hit the curb den i just replace the bloody tires and move on with life, it's as simple as that. but apparently that's not wad driving instructors advocate, and somehow they seem to have a 3D view of the car and they know exactly when u're gonna mount the curb.
well but having said all that, i'm convinced i can pass from the way mingyi drives. HAHAHAHA. either that or he brought his chequebook on the test day :)
