Dammit. Everything seems wrong these days.

You Are 70% Burned Out

You are very burned out.
You need a huge break from your responsibilities, starting as soon as possible.
And you need this time to reevaluate what you really want out of your life.
Because you're working hard and going no where... and that would burn anyone out!

Are You Burned Out?


I should take the advice and quit before i dropped dead at the office one day....

Had a very weird encounter this evening. Me and Rose went to Esplanade to chill out. Kinda. Anyway, we were sitting down minding our own business and basically talking crap. You know, the usual. A group of Chinese tourists were nearby taking pics. They were like posing as if they were holding the Merlion in the palms of their hands. 3 of them were doing it at the same time, and it looked like one of those funny candid moments that just had to be photographed. So Rose took out her hp and took shots of them doing that.

Then one of the Chinese tourists came up to us and started talking to us. We can't quite hear and understand what he wanted, but he was gesturing to the cam hanging around his neck, so we deduced that he wanted us to take a pic of us. A bit relieved actually. Thought we were gonna be told off for taking their pics. Haha.

So, anyway, we said ok and we started standing up to get the cam from him. Imagine to our surprise when he raised the cam and started to take our pics!!! We started shielding our faces with our hands and we were saying,"No, no!!!" But he still took the pics anyway. And apparently, one cam is not enough, cuz he went to get another cam and took more pics of us!!!

Thank god he stopped. We were almost ready to like start running away. What was that all about????? That was so weird. Why the hell did he want our pics for???

Went to the 3rd wedding yesterday, and there's another one coming up this coming Sunday. My friend's sis got married, and since i'm pretty close to the family i spent the whole afternoon there, and even go to the groom's side to "investigate" his side of the wedding preparations. Haha. So kaypoh right?

The wedding on the coming Sunday will be a Baha'i wedding. I think that's gonna be pretty interesting. Can't wait. I shall bring a cam so that i can take lots of pics and no one can tell me not to. I'll be watching the ceremony and everything. It'll be a novel experience. Anyone wanna come?? First come, first served basis. LOL

Attended a party on Saturday. Wait for the pics, as soon as i get them. So many pics, so little time.

I better go. Can't open my eyes. Enjoy the vid and the song.

5.52 am. Just got home less than half hr ago. Don't ask. It was fun, going out in the middle of the night. I don't get to do it very often -there was a blue moon last night :p - so this kinda thing is a novelty and i get really excited each time. Haha. Nothing to do actually in the mid of the night if your friend refused to go clubbing, so we just drove around aimlessly til we finally settled in for Ocean's 13 at 2.40 am at Cine.

Fell asleep in the theatre. Quite sleepy now, but have a lot to do today so i can't afford the time to sleep. From a totally boring last weekend to a very busy one this week. But it's worth it i feel. I mean, how often can i get out of the house at midnight without answering to my parents?

My excitement, however, is marred by my guilty feeling. Sms-ed something that i shouldn't have, and i think my meaning came out to harsher than it actually is. My "foot in mouth" disease has apparently worsen to shorten the lag time between my fingers and my mind. Sigh. Seem that everytime i did something good there will always something else to make me feel guilty/depressed/pissed off. The cycle don't seem to end does it? To my friend, i apologise if you think that i'm a bit too harsh just now.

Why is doing the right thing so difficult? Damned if i do, damned if i don't. A gnawing feeling is settling in the pit of my stomach. Sigh.

I keep meaning to write a proper post but i've been too caught up with youtube. And i'll write halfway and suddenly lost my thread of thought and then i decided not to continue. I think either i should stop multi-tasking or stop writing in my blog when youtube is in another window. I'll write a bit while waiting for the vids to load, and then i'll forget about the entry altogether after that.

So anyway.........


Right now i'm listening to Fergie's Big Girls Don't Cry. And there's Milo Ventimiglia in it! He's the
character Peter Petrelli from Heroes, or, if that doesn't ring a bell, Jess from Gilmore Girls. In the mtv he has a lot of tattoos, and now i'm wondering if those are his real tattoos. He doesn't look the kind to have tattoos, but hey, there's always a secret underneath everyone's clothes. Haha.

My slipper broke on Wed while i was on the way to work. These things always happen to me. It's frustrating. Is it the way i walk, or am i naturally violent? My slippers never last that long. I think this one lasted around 6 months before it finally succumbed. And that's considered long for me. I marvel at those people who manage to keep their shoes for years! The only type of shoes that has a long "life" with me is my pair of sports shoes. And i think it's mainly due to the fact that i don't wear it that often.


Had quite an interesting msn conversation with CM this morning. Haha. You know, CM, we should meet one of these days. I haven't seen you for quite a while i think. Come to think of it, i haven't really seen any of my jc classmates in a while, save for just a couple of them. Busy, busy, busy.

This entry is boring. Whatever la. My mind can't think of any pics to put in for this entry. Nothing seems relevant. Guess it has to stay pic-less.


"....One night and one more time,
Thanks for the memories....."
--Thanks for the Memories, Fall-out Boy

PS: I think i shall put Milo's pic. Hehe.

This song needs no introductions. I seriously don't think i would like this song, cuz i'm not that impressed by Carrie Underwood. But this vid is fast changing my mind. And the beginning of the vid is a bit heartbreaking.

Feeling slightly melancholy these days. Not so much depressed as just really reflective. Thinking about life in general. I guess age does that to you. How i long for the carefree days. Running around with no sense of responsibility.

Anyway, this first half of the year have seen me attending 2 weddings of friends. One was in January, a small, simple affair. On a weekday, with close friends attending and a similar gathering in the evening at his house. No frills, no fuss. The other was the one i attended last Saturday. Grand (with swordbearers!! how cool is that!) with a course dinner over at the Marina Mandarin hotel. Two different couples, different races and nationalities. And i know a couple of other people that are also tying the knot this year. Wow. At this rate i think i'll get to see everyone married before i turn 30.

Observing all these wedding ceremonies have lead me to one conclusion: Getting married is a headache. The first hurdle is getting the money. Especially for the guy's side. You need to save a lot. A whole damn lot. for the wedding ceremony, the wedding reception, the wedding shoots, the honeymoon, the gifts, the clothes, etc. The list can go on and on. Who knows exactly how much it can all cost in the end?

Then the wedding lunch/dinner/reception. Knowing who to invite and who not to is very crucial. I know people get offended easily if they think they've been overlooked. Plus the fact that if you invite a person, you have to invite the whole clique as well. If not, then who will the person hang out with? And if members of the clique are also hanging out with other people, you will be obliged to invite those people as well. If you are having a buffet, it's all well and sundry, but a course dinner will also cause problems. And the location of the reception can also be a problem to some couples.

Sigh. All these problems and it's before the marriage life begins. That itself will definitely have its own hurdles to cross. Gosh. *shudders*

But erm, lest anyone gets offended, let me impress that i am pro-marriage. I actually admire the fact that these couples can take that huge leap of faith to spend the rest of their lives with one person. To commit themselves to one person forever. I really admire that. I can't even commit myself to one job. And i guess all these weddings remind me that i'm getting older and i have to stop being flighty. Like right now. Not enough courage i guess.

Hmm. Tone of this entry is sombre. Will return to its regularly scheduled light-hearted entries the next time. Until then.

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get an notion from the look in your eyes...yeah

You've Built a love but that love falls apart

Your little piece of heaven turns to dark

CHORUS
Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where your going, and i don't know why
But listen to your heart before

You tell him goodbye

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide..yeah
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems
The feeling of belonging .. to your dreams

CHORUS
Listen to your heart when he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do I don't know where your going, and i dont know why
But listen to your heart before
You tell him goodbye

And there are voices, that want to be heard
So much to mention but you cant find the words
The scent of magic the beauty thats been
When love was wilder..than the wind

CHORUS

Listen to your heart when he's calling for you

Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where your going, and i don't know why

But listen to your heart before

You tell him goodbye

Listen to your heart
I don't know where your going and i don't know why
But listen to your heart before
You tell him goodbye

I'm uncovering new songs via Youtube every single day. It's amazing how your music outlook and knowledge can expand just by searching for a particular series. Haha.

I actually had a lot to write about, like my Science Centre trip last week, and my first time in a Chinese wedding, but i just have not gotten any pics from any of the people i was with. So no pics, no write-ups. Sigh. This can take a really long time.

Anyway, decided to make do with embedding a vid for this entry. One of those finds that i uncovered while searching for the best Supernatural vids around. All the good vids are inspiring me to do one of my own, but i never got around to doing one til now. Note to self: Learn to use the Windows Movie Maker!!

I think the vid is self explanatory, the story revolving on Dean. The song is the one holding all the scenes together, and i think it's done beautifully. The creator thought it's a bit Wincest-y, but i don't think so. I think it's about family. The Wincester's screwed up version of family. Haha.

Been in a weird mood lately. Lethargic. Restlessness. Insomniac. Extreme sleepiness. (I know the last 2 traits are oxymoronic but there you go). And i never know it was very stressful planning for a holiday. You need a holiday just to recover from the planning of the holiday. Haha. Although now it looks as though the holiday might not take off after all. What luck.

The movie Puteri Gunung Ledang (Princess of Mt Ledang) just ended on tv. It's a nice story, but i think that the hero, Hang Tuah, is very silly. He would just let his beloved marry the sultan of Melaka rather than risk incurring his wrath. And the princess had to actually let herself be cursed for refusing the proposal before Hang Tuah realised he's wrong. Duh. Even in the olden days the women are more mature and modern than the men.

Ok, this entry is full of nonsense. But there's actually nothing on my mind right now, no concrete plan on what to write. And right now i can barely keep my eyes open. But there's this compulsion inside me to start typing. Dunno why.


Right. Think i better stop. i can barely keep my eyes open.
