Comic Sans.

After 20 or more hours spent travelling or in transit, I've finally arrived at what shall be my home for the next few months/years! Haven't slept on a bed since waking up on sunday morning back in singapore, so I'm quite eager to hit the sack soon! Except that I'm greeted with bed sans pillow and sans blanket. Nightmarish much?! First things on my to-buy-list.

I managed to watch almost 5 movies on my flight here, and that was while I was trying my darnedest to cram in some sleep intermittently too. The Lost Bladesman, Don't Go Breaking My Heart, Something Borrowed, Last Night, and X-Men. I thought Something Borrowed was absolute rubbish though. Somehow all the characters end up unlikeable because they're pretty much all morons for the most part.

Okay I really am quite tired. I slept throughout my flight to KL (merely an hour though) and maybe 2 hours tops during my mega 14 hour flight to London, which wasn't very wise at all. I'll update you guys with more (and more interesting as well) stuff another time, grouses about a lack of bedstuffs and a lack of sleep and a rubbish movie probably don't make for very good reading. Okay taim to heet the sak.

New Horizon Ephemeral Style.

Hullo. Must say that I'm quite surprised (and touched) at all that's gone on these past few days. Been really hectic and all, but without a doubt it's been worth it. I think it didn't strike me how much I was leaving behind (apart from dota ofc, sorry bout that swoonz and ym!) until sometime.. now. But yeah, I love all you guys you all know that right? Hahaha.

My knees hurt. And I have a bruise (source: unknown) on my left arm as well. I srsly was a burden today I think, I was quite annoyed with myself really! Sorry guy and girls! Never imagined myself to be so pathetic on sand HAHA. But a very fun day nonetheless, with magically (for real) lomantic time walking to sentosa as well eh?

I think I shan't be banging on for much longer actually, I'm going to start archiving all the books I have at home soon, so that I won't ever re-buy any books I already have. I'm also going to finish Bleak House within the next few hours! Less than a hundred pages to reach the end, so go me!

Anyhow, I hope the.. well, vibes, I've been getting these past few days don't mean anything at all. I would hate to disappoint anyone, especially those who don't deserve to be disappointed. I think, the product of an over-imaginative mind. Hmm well I sure hope so. But it's not been unpleasant, although that perhaps is the danger. Oh well, that's that.

Okay archiving time, Librarian Chuan has werk to do. I'll see you guys soon (in the blink of a star) so take care of yourselves in the meantime!

PEACE OUT-

P.S Decided to put that list up on my sidebar, in place of that old shelfari widget I scrapped such a long time ago!

You Wanted To Be Tragically Happy.

Hello almost exactly a month since my last post cause I haven't really got much to say. And because my brother has been hogging the comp, which is a wonder since he's supposed to be in the middle of his prelims. It's quite impressive how much time he spends on the comp instead of hitting the books, although I'm not morally capable of telling him off HAHA. I lost my moral high ground with the advent of DotA. But fret not, airvybody, for I will be leaving the game forevermore very soon, which is not quite as bold a proclamation as if I promise to quit now, but I need a bit more time to get over it!!

Speaking of hitting the books, I just bought Eragon and A Visit From The Goon Squad today. And The Imperfectionists, a Sandman graphic novel, and St Lucy's Home For Girls Raised By Wolves (or sth like that) all from Littered With Books. I had business in the area so I couldn't help but make visits to that most delightful of bookstores. Although I must add that finding it proved to be tougher than I thought and between my multiple visits to the shop, I must have covered almost the whole Tanjong Pagar by now (since I kept taking different routes.) I also had Keen on Crepes one day, which was quite decent.

I also watched Love In Space today. I wanted and didn't want to watch it actually. I thought I'd watch it online, but the MRT stopped its service at Yishun and since I'd already had to get off the train, I thought I'd watch a movie. Have also watched Easy A, The Kids Are All Right, Four Lions, Beginners, Crazy Stupid Love, Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead, Whip It!, Tropic Thunder, Casino, Wu Xia, and probably a few more as well. Pretty decent haul, eh? And I also started watching Monk with my brother (I think we were tired of dota one night), but that traitor went and watched episode 7 and onwards without me. So I guess it's to each his own now!

So my Australia trip went well. I was totally under-budget, spending 900 AUD in total, even after buying a watch for 200 AUD! I guess when you've got friends and relatives everywhere (esp those uncles and aunties and cousins who pay for your meals) money is of no import eh? Anyways my most heartfelt thanks to those who took the time and effort to entertain me and show me places or even to lodge me, be it for half a day or for days on end, all of you were absolutely brilliant.

I'm going to JB tomorrow with my parents and surprisingly (perhaps obscenely) my brother as well. Did I mention he's in the middle of his prelims?! Say what you may about there only being paper 1s left, the very fact you're having prelims means you should be studying your arse off for A levels no? I think we're going for massage and karaoke or sth, I really don't know, but this is the first time I'm traveling with both my parents at the same time in ages! I'll try to be a good boy tmr.

Sometimes inactivity is the greatest wrong of all. Sometimes all we can do is look back and think: I should have done something.

Anyhow, the hour is getting late now, and I should be going, going, gone.
