2012

So here comes the new year...  Bleh

I can't care less. Not that I'm trying to be a sour grape here.  It's more because you don't judge yourself based on 365 and 1/4 days. 

It's gradual.

Or perhaps I'm just being the plain, uninterested me.

Candles (Remix) - Hey Monday

Ruffled

Maybe I'm just letting myself down, 

maybe it's a subconscious attempt to keep my ego in check,

maybe I'm just consciously blaming my subconscious.

I just have a whole lot of love,

laying dormant, wanting to burst out.

Though I act like I don't care much,

trust me, I'm malleable to anyone.

Now won't you help me fix that,

even as a momentary pause?

Bah.  I'm just sitting here, after realizing that I played a little too much Skyrim again, looking at my Ruffles potato chips.  Whilst running circles around Facebook.  Speaking of which, I finally watched The Social Network.  And it was

I can happily claim that edited picture to be of my work.  And there goes my ego again.

My sem break is turning out to be quite unfruitful.  But hey, I got to work at least.  Next month will be a whole other problem: university applications.  My gawd.

Machu Picchu - The Strokes

Eve

Another pending Christmas that I don't have particular plans for...  Oh well!  But for the third year running, Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" is stuck in my head.  Can't blame her, it's a kickass song with a hint of romance.  Ignore the last word.

What I learned today is that a best friend is someone who you'd like to punch in the face at times, and instead makes you laugh alongside him.  Thank you for reminding me that, Chin.

In advance, Merry Christmas!  May your dream(s) come true, because I wish mine could.

Fingerprints

Tuesday's work with Roger with Major 7 Music was incredibly tiring.  We worked from 10 am (at Royale Bintang Hotel) until 12.30 pm and then from 2 pm till 3 am at MMU located in Cyberjaya.  It was psychotic, not to mention extremely taxing on my body.  I swore I could've gotten a hernia anytime during work should I lift those stuff by myself.  Well, it's only my fourth day at work so I screwed up on tons of stuff.  Thankfully no one besides the AV crew realized it.  But hey, the experience was a nice one.  The pay was also quite good, but that didn't really matter.  I just woke up two days later to realize that I've got multiple cuts on my fingers from getting cut/crushed/smashed by the gear when taking it down, and later loading it back in, the truck.

I'll be leaving for futsal soon with Vikesh, my driving school buddy, who recently came back from Ireland, pursuing a medical degree.  I'm very excited, as I haven't had a good workout in two good weeks.  Just hope that I don't get slaughtered out there like that game against the Middle Easterners.

But on a grand-er scale, sem break has been pretty meh...  Maybe because I'm playing more than reading, OR that most planned events fall apart at the vital stages.  And sem break kinda sucks when you have the luxury of time to stalk people whilst trying to suppress hormonal instincts.  Contradicting much?  But girl WHY SO ATTRACTIVE?!

Feel The Music (JXL Mix) - Tom Jones

Crimson

A wonderful evening, I had.

With a familiar face.

We connected well,

as though the past did not entangle.

An idea flashed across,

in a glimpse I relapsed.

But the thought still persists:

am I to find the antidote,

and/ or maybe another adversity?

If only a degree of directness is obliged...
And a hint of crimson intent catches her attention

He Won't Go - Adele

Moonlight

Well, I don't have a job, so I'm free for the entire month.  I've cancelled half my trips with friends because I just felt like it.  I'm reading again because I need to.  All this bears one question in mind:  Am I too selfish?

I'll leave that thought for myself to ponder on tonight when lying on my bed.

When I debate with myself,

regarding the people I missed,

I simply mention:

every single breath.

The problem persists,

how frequently it may be asked.

Circles - Digitalism

Dust

Finally!  After months of procrastination, I managed to pull off the spring cleaning of my room.  It looks much neater now (and less claustrophobic).  I'm sorry to my dad's co-workers for all the racket caused by the noise emitted by the vacuum cleaner, which was almost equivalent to a jet-engine's roar.  So I've been sneezing for the past half-an-hour from the dust but I've vacuumed most of it.  Will probably do a second sweep tomorrow morning.

Moreover, my family plus Sunshine went to witness "Stomp!" the dance/musical performance at Kuala Lumpur Convention Center last Saturday.  They were phenomenal!  I felt incredibly guilty for dosing off at once scene...  Very, very guilty in fact...  I didn't even know why I was all of a sudden sleepy.  But it was a great show.  And as a bonus, the Picom PC Fair was next door.  So I got new earphones from Sensonic and a Logitech Stereo Headset.  Like, FINALLY.  Yay!!

Buen Salvaje - La Vida Boheme

Micro

Whee!!  I'm done with my finals for the last time this year.  I'm planning to get a part-time, maybe even full-time job at Thyme Bakery at Uptown, since it's incredibly nearby.  To work for a month.  Eh hee

At least I have a clear picture of what to do in my free time (at last).  I've got three main goals this break:

1. Do extensive research on my transfer univeristies.

2. Get a job, if not, learn how to cook anyway.

3. Read (more) books. 

Sounds very straightforward.  And now to hope the best for a TOEFL exam slot.  I. Need. This!!
