Hei lo. I was thinking of "sorrow comes in waves" or sth like that cause I knew I read sth about that somewhere, and google told me it was Shakespeare with "When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions." The Bard indeed eh?
Anw I had this sudden thought because I was all of a sudden swamped by this very odd feeling just now, while on my way home on the MRT. A very odd feeling of.. dissatisfaction. Like something vital (or precious) is missing. Curiously unsettled. Ill at ease. Like there's something gnawing at my subconscious (or conscious or unconscious wtv) but I just can't put my finger on it. Troubled over nothing in particular, really. Just a weird mood that descended and settled on me.
But yesterday (wednesday that is) was bad. I'm such a disappointment srsly. A burden. I was damn poor. Ohwell. At least I had nights-out and ate at The Soup Restaurant at tampines.
And today I ate Out of the Pan at Raffles Place, so I've been having some gastronomical adventures! I had a crêpe for dinner okay! I felt so classy haha. Then I came home and lo & behold my dad offered me beer. Bewildered?! Actually they bought tsingtao beer specially for me just because I was there during sailing -.- And my dad asked me to try the asahi beer, which I'd never had before, so I did. And I ate peanuts too. So from classy crêpe guy I became this beer guzzling peanut chomping uncle sigh. Imma become fattssy boms boms with beerbelly soon.
I had dinner alone on both occasions, and in fact I had to shake my friends off to have dinner alone at the soup restaurant. There is a solace in solitude don't they know? Like watching movies alone (which I know nobody believes in, somehow!)
My random thought for the day is that: We must not admit the existence of hope, for once we do, it becomes a real thing. And real things, as we all know, cause real hurt. What we do not admit, what we choose not to believe, cannot hurt us.
Anw everytime I try to sing There is a Light That Never Goes Out in my head, I segue into Morrisey's Suedehead. "Take me out tonight / I'm so sorry." And I never manage to get the song. That's what happens when the lead singer of some band buggers off and pursues a solo career. Confusion reigns!
On that note, I was listening to songs on my friends ipod until he remarked that the songs I was choosing were mostly from 500 days of summer. I was like "Oh. Ya hor." At the moment he said that, I had just embarked on Regina Spektor's Hero and I realized I knew exactly which part of the movie the song played. It was an awesome part. Poor Tom.
It's extra awesome to hear a song you like in a movie you like isn't it! Walking on a Dream (or Standing on the Shore?) by Empire of the Sun and Temper Trap's Sweet Disposition. Little pleasant surprises when watching a movie. Brilliant soundtrack, really, when you think of She's Got You High and all that.
And Zooey Deschanel's rendition of Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want! By the way I really like the ending song of Bourne Identity (Extreme Ways by Moby) which I recall even though I watched the movie on Funshion like more than a year ago haha. And then there's You'll Be In My Heart from Tarzan [hands up if you recall Tarzan and Jane! (Not just that silly song)]
I drafted a list of 70 songs (that's 2 pages in my journal book) that I'd want on my playlist now, mostly off the top of my head, and I think I came up with a pretty good one hehe. I tried as best I could to have as wide a spread as I could, meaning less of the usual stuff I listen to (possibly also cause I might have tired of them a little.)

Ta-da. May your Friday be a very Good one indeed, hope you manage to spot a bunny or two, and proceed to mercilessly rob him of his egg, although what business a bunny has with an egg is absolutely unfathomable to my poor mind, so he probably deserves to be mugged anyways.
Happy Easter all.
