Just when you think you’ve had the worst day

We had our graduation at the Ritz early today. It’s been a while since I’ve had to wake up at 6 in the morning to do anything. But watching a series of 20 people slip and fall on stage in their graduation gowns was well worth it – think lemmings. Think 500 guests. Think total humiliation at an enormously grand affair. Think the only subject everyone talked about throughout lunch reception.

If It's Not Here Soon I Might Be Done

I am interested in staying away from destructive, coverted and hateful people. Stay out of my face.

What should I do I’m just a little baby

The crazy old neighbour is at his window watching me again. He has been since I first moved here - when I was two. I’ve never actually spoken to him before. Sometimes, when I’m by the window smoking, he would get out and smoke too. And we’ll both just look at each other – and I’ll talk to him in my head, usually about how fucked up things have been. Or that he shouldn’t be smoking at his age. Even back then when I was so much younger, I would just stand by the window and talk to him in my head. I often wonder if he does the same.

A Cause For Worry

I've recently been whiling away entire afternoons sat huddled by the bed, pouring over dust-encrusted letters, diaries and junk probably kept away around the turn of my adolescence. And I’m very proud to announce that I’ve finally packed all my NKTOB and Backstreet Boys memorabilia neatly into separate boxes.

I met Mervin up earlier today for pizza and beer. And I’ve been farting ever since. If this keeps up, I might just have enough gas to create energy for an atomic bomb.

Closer To Eventual Demise

It’s almost 5 in the morning, and I can’t sleep.

My neighbourhood just got more interesting: another fight earlier tonight in the parking lot - this time it involved a man and a taxi driver. I watched the man collapse in the middle of the road, probably from a heart attack or something. And then I did the dumbest thing - I called the phone operator to report the incident.

I don’t know which was more disturbing – the man having a seizure, or the fact that I didn’t know what to dial “in case of emergency”.

I Was Asking For It

I had my hair cut on Saturday – about six inches shorter. And I almost had an anxiety attack. I don’t know how long I contemplated making the cut, but it seemed like forever. I don’t know what I was thinking either that day. I was on medication, and I was reading Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching before I knocked out cold. And when I woke up, I took off right away and headed straight to the hair salon. I must’ve been possessed by all that eastern philosophy.

The next day was followed by a lineup of bizarre events. My sister made my lunch, which was fit for a goat. I’ve never had so many different types of vegetables and fruits in one meal. She’s turned into this chronic health and yoga-doing dietician and she’s really starting to freak me out. Later, I headed down to Andrea’s barbecue where I watched her dad go into what seemed like a tribal dancing fit. He’s quite a strange man. Then as we were leaving, I caught Hadi talking to himself - or maybe he was talking to his combat boots. I’m not too sure, but considering that I too sometimes talk to inanimate objects, I didn’t think it was odd at all.

Then later when I got home, I saw a guy and girl get into a fist fight on the street where I live. And they were making such a racket, everyone else in the neighbourhood got out of their houses to watch – also probably because we don’t get this kind of action all the time. I’ve never seen anything quite like that, which explains why I was staring so much - which probably also explains why the guy started coming and screaming at me in an incomprehensible language.

You can imagine how petrified I must've been.

Random Thoughts

Does anyone else find it weird that Dove makes personal care products and chocolates (and ice-cream) at the same time?

I Am All Sorts Of Unknown

This year’s party was, by far, the least stimulating lineup of all time. I saw a million faces over the last two days and now I feel like I need to hide in a dark hole for at least a week. Getting robbed was one of the many things I had to deal with that Saturday. I would’ve found it (and everything else) rather amusing if I wasn’t so fucking sober. Although I don’t know how I managed to pull that off. I must’ve had at least 15 different drinks, and they all came in shot glasses.

Anyway, I caught up with Andrew online, earlier today. It’s actually been over a year since we last met (or communicated, even) and we (or more like, I) had so much to tell. You see, Andrew has always been a significant part of my pubescent years. You know how it is when you’re young, and you meet a guy, and you think you’re in love… and then things happen. Well, mine kinda ended at “…and you meet a guy”. How we met, was a different story altogether, and he hasn’t stopped teasing me about it and I bet my bottom dollar he never will.

I’m about to head out now with Emma and Lin for a drive (in our underwear). We feel it’s the only patriotic thing to do.

Happy National Day! Goodbye and good health!

Rapid Oscillations

I’m at the lobby waiting to check in right now, and I’m fucking bored out of my mind. My thighs ache and my knees feel like they’re gonna give way. I don’t know what I was thinking last night, going to that exotic dance class with the girls (and Veemal, who obviously got the better end of that deal)

My sister got another ticket for parking her car in our parking lot. She was yammering about how much she’d like to take the 30 bucks and shove it up the parking attendant’s ass. I thought it was pretty funny. My dad however, wants to sue the town council. My dad has a knack for throwing a legal fit at everything. I often wonder how come I never got those genes.

Mellow Fucking Out

Our rock climbing plans are cancelled. It was the one thing I was getting truly excited about - getting up early on Sunday all hungover with a colossal migraine and then pounding ourselves against some rock walls.

And the hotel reservations at the Grand Copthorne aren’t even confirmed yet.

Now I’m thinking, why don't we fuck it up some more?! Like get me a microwave for my birthday or something.

The Party Policy

I'm throwing a party. Everyone should throw one too.. for your own sanity. Come and check it out next week. To laugh. To smile. To get wasted. To have a little bit of 'Ain in your life. If you care.

Because you know you know you love me.
