I quote the crazy God lady on the show The Mist. Great movie.
Gonna make this short.
Started my vet clinic attachment at Pet Care Centre & Clinic at Chai Chee. I'm a volunteer so it's pretty flexible the number of days a week I go in and how long I stay in there for.
Will update on all the KOOL things i've seen there tomorrow night. Or something.

in loving memory
Jedi Pocky, Chen Po Chen.
1984-2008
It's slowly sinking in, it's almost surreal that you're gone.
It kills me that I didn't get to know you better.
As my sister's best friend you were like family to us.
You had a dynamic, out-of-this-world personality that everyone loved.
And you turned up for every DNB gig Aresha did without fail.
Without you it feels like just a vacant space.
At the tribute I could imagine you on that dancefloor,
making it yours, not really caring who's watching.
Even though you're gone, you'll always be rocking that dancefloor in our hearts.

hungover
For some reason, I cannot recall, for the life of me, how in the hell I got home last night, took off my earrings and jeans, put on boxers and went to bed. I also apparently emptied my bag of my headphones, cardigan, and socks that I bought when I went bowling with the girlfriends the other day.
But I do remember contemplating on whether to take off my eyeliner or not.
Yesterday was good though. Totally random idea to go out after work with Lani and Renie, Renie didn't go in the end so we went ahead to Timbre. Got there at 3, met an ex-Wild Oats employee - Ernie. And surprise surprise, Gerald was there! From TPJC. Random conversation, thought of heading to Kopitiam but decided to head to the east instead. Fucker already got his license, and is driving his mom's Honda.
Hopefully I can psycho him into going for adventures and stuff hehehe.

boring, bored
The days have been pretty blah, and I guess this photo just sums it up.
Oh-so-very... blah.
Can't be arsed to update, nothing exciting or blog-worthy has been happening.
Still no response from Liverpool or Royal Vet College. I think I am fucked.
Work-wise things have been okay, but cash-wise I am screwed.
The only reason why I miss school is because it takes up all my time. Now free time spent outside costs moolah. Time spent with friends have been great, but it deeply sickens me to be around people who think they're too good for you. At least i've been under that impression.
I need to be around more people. No, the customers at Wild Oats don't count.
Tomorrow i'll be up bright and early (about 12pm-ish) and start the day well. Otherwise this bout of laziness/apathy will become routine. And then I will crash and burn.
Already done with my to-do list for this week! It's a start.
To make this post less depressing, here are some photos I took randomly. The D80 has been nothing but kind to me.
The booze at Wild Oats. No we don't get to drink any. ;)
Went to visit a family friend when my aunt was in town from the UK. No this isn't the friend, but it's his pet owl. I shan't say no more, because it's daaaangerousss....
Random furry little fella.
Will have more adventures soon - ice skating, bapuk stakeouts, you name it, i'll do it.

am i dead?
No not really. Haha.
Just been working. The PC's been down for ages for 1001 reasons, it's amazing it survived the past 5 years with no antivirus. It's also got a snazzy new printer, speakers, wireless mouse and keyboard after a little trip to Sim Lim.
Work has been alright, apart from being sent to Wild Oat's affiliated restaurants - Relish and Wild Rocket. If I wanted to work in a restaurant, I wouldn't have applied to work in the bar. It's not about whether it's more slack at Oats or not. I just DON'T WANT TO WORK IN A RESTAURANT, PERIOD.
It could be packed as hell at Wild Oats every damn day, I can and will do it with no complaints. I guess the only good thing was that I worked at Relish with Mimi and big/small Sam made me feel at home at Wild Rocket.
Enough about that though, I'll get over it soon enough as long as Mitch doesn't sack me because of what Mimi said. Le sigh.
On a totally different note, I have a new infatuation. With a boy that many a girl could only as much as fantasize about. I see him almost every other day i'm at work except weekends. I don't know how old he is, and neither do I know his name, but I do know he's Jeremy Monteiro's son. Singapore's very own 'King of Swing' has a studio directly next to the bar, and that's how I ended up finding this mysterious boy. Annoying thing is, I have gotten nothing close to even a trace of a smile, whereas everyone else, INCLUDING Daniel, got Hi's and even smiles from him.
I was talking to Mon about it over supper yesterday after work. All sorts of advice la I can get from him. So this time change tactics. I will have to stop looking at him whenever I can, as hard as it'll be because he is really, really, ridiculously good looking.
What if he's married? Lord.
:D

By far, the most eventful new year's yet.
Mom and dad had a juvenile, immature albeit explosive argument involving flinging the printer, the computer chair and the police. By the time I had finished by shift and got home it was 4 in the fucking am and all I wanted to do was sleep. When it was all over, I tucked into bed at 9am.
I can't be bothered to list all the details. My parents - fine examples of being good parents.
I don't think anyone knows how fucking glad I am that the school term starts tomorrow and both parents have to go back to their usual routines. Clearly, too much free time makes my mom restless and thus more likely to go absolutely apeshit.
Those whom i've told, thanks for listening. The only other comfort i've had is Rasputin. He's always happy to see me and I let him out of his cage for as long as I can at a time. He bounces around the bed for awhile before getting a little tired, but for the entire duration that he's out of his cage, he's hyper. And still generous with all his kisses.
I thought I could start the New Year slowly, with no worries at hand. I guess having peace of mind is not what my life is cut out to be blessed with. Aunty Gogi firmly believes I HAVE to get out of the country for university, vet school or no. And I agree. For everything I've been through, I deserve it.
2008 promises a fresh start. I hope.
Some things have worked my way, most haven't. In light of one in particular I chose to spend New Year's eve working instead of celebrating. Just lost the mood I guess.
You know, after so many years you realise who your friends really are. And i'm glad that those who are close to me are fantastic people inside out. Speaking of which, I met up with Maya on Sunday and had a good heart-to-heart. Why is it our conversations are always like that. Haha.
But it really did me good. Had a drink at starbucks then headed over to her place.
I don't know why I get myself down so much for. When I really think about it, it was just so bledy stupid, including the people involved. My life is just starting out proper after hibernating at home for so long. I am anything but anti-social, who knows all the new people i'll meet.
I can't wait.
