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.

The Cold Air Will Rush Your Hard Heart Away.

Just back from some mahjong action AKA gombak massacre, and this time I was not the massacre-ee but the massacre-er mohoho. No ZMMT though :( But free chicken rice (famous one) and ice green lemon green tea makes up for it I guess! And woonshin's wallpaper ofc.

Also watched Incendies at Cineme Europa today, after going to the hospital and my aunty's place. Pretty powerful stuff. Of course it isn't very plausible lah, but why would you watch a movie if it's a perfect rendition of reality? Just live a life, man. I also want to watch Four Lions actually.

I ate at GoIndia! at Vivo just now and man... If that's what a Kashmiri lamb is like then I daresay Singapore should have a slice of the pie as well, along with the Chinese, Indians and Pakistanis. I think before I sleep tonight images of sheep jumping over not a fence, but a barbeque pit, and defying all laws of physics, get suspended there (and rotated to boot) for just long enough to be perfectly cooked yumyum. No one can do a curry like an indian. Incidentally is today curry eating day or was that last week? What a palatable event.

Well I've got werk the-morrow so pleasant slumbers you.

On The Streets Of Serenade.

Just done with some dota (yet again) which firmly cements my place among the dota greats (yet again!) I've gotta get up to go to the hospital at noon tmr to visit grandma, where I will be meeting my aunty who wishes to speak to me. I'm pretty sure her "speak" is gonna turn out to be a lecture instead, so I should fortify myself somehow.

I suspect the lecture will be about how I have to study bloody hard to get myself brilliant grades so that I can earn massive amounts of money, plus minus a few superlatives. Everyone knows how much of a lazy bugger I am, unfortunately. Apparent from the way I haven't booked my flights yet :O Is okay I clean up my act tmr like np.

Anw I realized I lost a few ticket stubs this year, so there's a little bit of a gaping hole in my collection. My friend tells me I'm a junk collector, and he's probably right!

Ang also says my hair is damn BadBoy. Alright! Score! All I need left is to master the DoucheWalk and I'm good to go eh? Baddest boy in town okay. Almost as bad as my Line Birds is good.

I don't know what it is about sembawang waters but after dipping in it I have become uber pimply. The kind of rubbish you can find underwater you have no idea. And when there's an oil spill as well even the surface is no respite, so you can tell how miserably smelly we all were.

Okay I know very incoherent and jumpy hmm? I can't seem to string together more than a few thoughts before drawing blanks, and I am alarmingly hungry as well, so I shall sleep right now because everyone knows late night snax are bad for your figure, and I'm trying very hardly to keep in shape!

OWTV gd nit3.

No, Not Your Lies Nor Your Downcast Eyes.

Have been on a movie binge of sorts lately, capped off with Rise of the Planet of the Apes (POTA) yesterday. So I think the one thing I took away from the movie was this: PETA or POTA! So let's start being nice to animals (especially hyper-intelligent ones) and not give our hairy counterparts any reason to want to smash us into little bits. Support PETA!

Cowboys VS Aliens is a movie that has managed to transcend its genre. By genre I mean the "VS" genre consisting of such gems as I don't know.. Cobra VS Mongoose or Hippopotamus VS Rhinoceros or sth. I thought Olivia Wilde was a little underwhelming and more than a little creepy however. But Daniel Craig the cowboy has higher-teched gizmos than Daniel Craig the 007 (aka Bond. James Bond.) But ya lah better than I'd expected from a terribad title like that.

Wu Xia was a whole lot better than I thought it would be, whatwith all the lousy ratings people were giving it. It's possible I'm a little partial to Tang Wei, but who cares it's still a good show.

I shall watch Incendies and Beginners and Bridesmaids, maybe even today? Not all today of course, that would be insanity.. or not. I haven't been spending enough time alone I think, as in the proper kind of time where you actually can hear what your mind has to say to yourself, y'know? I've been traveling, or reading, or playing dota, I haven't managed to just.. ruminate. Maybe tonight. Cinema Europa Vivocity here I come!

Okay not, dinner with circle, or semi-circle, or whatever the heck we are left now! Goodbuy.

Here, There Be Dragons!

Happy National Day Eve guys. I'm quite looking forward to watching the parade tmr, seeing as I missed it last year no thanks to my brilliant brother who convinced me it started at 8:19pm, despite my doubts we'd be able to make anything out in the dark. On TV, of course, which makes me wish I were P5 again eh?

I haven't been keeping up with my incessant blogging for a while now, but that's cause my comp is being shared by my mother, my brother and I. And what little time I do get on my comp I... it's a secret. Then again, since it's probably the worst kept secret in yewtee by now I might as well tell you that I spend all my time playing dota :) whoopsy daisy!

Anw hongkong was very fun thankyouverymuch for asking, and it would have been funner, even funnest, if I didn't have this ridiculous, sad, tummyache the first 2 days. Like appetite -9000 sigh. I still managed to consume quite a number of sumptuously sumptuous food e.g. charsiew pao and charsiew pao. Forgive me, sometimes all I can think about for days is the charsiew pao, true story.

I think that was the most expensive hotel of my life though. Not the most original of names perhaps (Nathan Hotel on Nathan Road doh) but it was plenty massive. As was the TV screen, much to my delight. One never knows how much of a couch potato one is until you plop yourself in front of a huge LCD TV streaming cantonese shows all day long.

Anw thanks amanda for the free tickets ((Y)) and both of you for the company! And for trying so hard to help in my quest to shop. And for not killing me with over-shopping.

I managed to catch Midnight in Paris, Love Actually, and a silly chinese show called The Butcher, The Chef and The Swordsman on the plane rides. Midnight in Paris wasn't quite as enjoyable as Vicky Christina Barcelona and I really only watched it for Rachel McAdam, but I must say that Woody Allen's films are pretty good. I should check out those starring Diane Keaton or sth, those old movies.

And Love Actually was brilliant! I don't know how I've managed to not watch it in all the years since it came out (I was underage when it first did) but I sure am glad I did. I don't think there are many of you out there but if you still haven't watched it, you should.

My brother harangued my into clearing my mess and arranging my stuff nicely so now I've got a brand new layout for all my books and all my nice(ly) useless stuff. I currently have 101 books in my possession! of which 37 are still unread. Which is a horrible statistic, which I have done nothing to improve by visiting the library! Of course if you see a book like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest then you are very much obliged to borrow it, yes yes. It is unexpectedly smooth reading, so I expect I shall very soon find out what exactly happens to the mad and not so mad men in it. Then I can watch the movie, starring a young Jack Nicholson.

Which reminds me how many TV shows I have to watch. I just started on Psych cause my brother psycho-ed me into watching it. (Sigh I know what a poor pun, oh to what depths I've sunk.) It's quite funny actually. So that makes it the 4th crime/detective show I'm following after Criminal Minds, Bones and The Mentalist. And is the 7th TV show after also How I Met Your Mother, House M.D and The Big Bang Theory. Oh the horror. And since all I do is dota.... I'm such a burden to society srsly.

I did want to alleviate a little of that burden but the bloodbank is closed today so ohwells. They've been sending me messages about a shortage of blood they're having (especially my sweet precious O+ blood) so I think I shall go down this saturday or sth.

Anw I just read about Anne Hathaway being the next Catwoman in the next installation of Batman?!?! That's gonna be an odd pill to swallow. Of course, I'd probably have said this if I'd heard she was gonna be the White Witch in Alice, but that turned out okay. I'd have expected.. someone sexier though, haha. Like... I don't know. Angelina Jolie is too old and too cool probably for a superhero film. Hoo well I really can't think who could be a good Catwoman, you'd need a real sizzler! Like Sienna Miller in her turn in GI Joe, hoo boy.

The only dragon you'd see here is this dragon-sized wall of text, as usual, boring me. I don't know why I keep hearing this phrase in my mind lately though. This and Macbeth's "something wicked this way comes." It must point to the fact that I'm such a dangerous person, yes? Hahaha. In an interview, Nina Dobrev said that girls always go for the bad boy, and while I can't verify that with the rest of the female population it is suffice that she does. Hahaha obsession reaches an all new level. But as of now I am BadBoy92 and I even howl sometimes during the full moon a la Jacob Black and occasionally glitter in the sun as well. Glitter = Free Win.

Alright enough of that babbling, I think I've embarrassed myself enough. More pertinently, one of my dota kakis has very kindly invited me to play so BAI BAI NOW.
