absence


i keyed this into my handphone when i was outside..then did some editing when i got home..my intention is to make it sound abstract but now it just sounds like something is amissed or ironically absent..

absence
makes the heart fonder
or does it make the heart forget?
does it make one stronger
to let go of regret
that we didn't
it didn't used to matter
the heart yearns
to feel a presence
fond memories
nothing absent

whinings..

it's the national day week! which means..probably no interviews and no responses until friday! oh well, at least i still have the temp assignment with jinhui until i find a job..she's been really nice about it, letting me leave early and giving me time off for my interviews..funny how she trusts me despite knowing each other for such a short time..haha..i'm even like her personal hr manager now..

want to catch two shows..the lake house and click..i know lots of guys will cringe saying the lake house is just a typical love story (where we all know the ending!) probably made worse with keanu reeves as the male lead..but who cares! honestly most people don't read love stories for the endings anyway..it's more the process and the storyline which captivates..or maybe i'm biased cuz i'm a sucker for romance novels and shows..oh well..


itchyyyyyyyyyyy itchyyyyy..this is the part about getting a tan that i really hate..argh! luckily there's no peeling..phew..

burnt!

i am so red! especially my shoulders! argh..hope my skin don't peel like the last time.. was at sentosa with karen and samuel (karen's bro) today..it was decided quite impromptu this morning but the plan was to get a tan and then try out the skyride and luge.. after our tanning session, we dropped by km8 for a drink..the shooter names were quite "suggestive"; there was this one called "blowjob"..we spent a few minutes amusing ourselves with that..the best one which came out of our short musing was samuel's.."how long will it take to come?" hahaha..funny stuff..

though it's been around for quite some time already, it's our first time trying out the rides..the skyride was pretty nerve-wrecking for me - i'm quite a sissy when it comes to flimsy structures and heights! the first time was the worst; we were not really prepared when it came and we all sat towards one side so the carriage was lop-sided..to make matters worse, the ride stopped halfway and we were suspended in mid-air for around half a minute while the afternoon breeze swayed our carriage gently from side to side..at least karen's wailing eased the tension somewhat! :P the next two went considerably better - i guess partly because we already knew what to expect.. the luge on the other hand was really fun though it was (as my friends had forewarned) quite a short ride downhill..but considering we took the package ($15 for 3 skyrides and 3 luge), it was well worth it! plus we had lots of fun on the rides (up and down 3 times leh!) and posing for the cameras while on the skyride and the luge (will post them up when i get them).. we were in sentosa from 12.30pm to nearly 6pm but time seemed to pass so fast! hope we can go back soon! now i just want to catch up on my 4 hours of sleep from last night!




12.30am - saturday morning (friday night)..
went to nus to pick jinxy up to meet kenneth at fong seng for supper..

upon sitting down:
jinxy: the food sucks!

while ordering:
jinxy: try the cheese prata..
and so i obediently ordered..

after supper:
addy: it really sucks!
jinxy: i told you so..
addy: then why you ask me to order the cheese prata?
jinxy: to prove to you it really sucks!

can die! anyway, it was really really salty!! i think it was either the cheese or the ah neh making the prata was one heavy "sweater"!! the only good (or bad) thing was that they gave me two pratas (double the torture?) for the price of one.. after supper, we went up to kent ridge park - apparently kenneth has this fetish of spying on people as they made out..due to a lack of "action", we ended up just sitting there talking a lot..when it was time to go, jinxy wanted to show me the "initial d" route..

jinxy: eh speed up leh..
addy: -makes a sharp corner-
jinxy: woah..why you go so fast?

can die! ended up home at around 4am and slept about 5am.. and..as i had expected, my biological clock woke me up at 9am this morning! why la!


lots of people misunderstand..or is it because they can see clearer?

lame-o

this just came into my head on my way home.. you know how girls combine their maiden surname with their husband's surname these days? well i suddenly thought what if i married a girl whose surname was tan..that'd make her a tan-tan (steamed egg!) hehehehe :P i know..lame-o.. but at least it's better than lim-tay or tay-oh or chew-boo rite? -grins- okok..i stop i stop! :x


what is happening to us?
what exactly is this?
that when i talk
you think you feel bliss
this is so unreal
so..untrue
and i,
i'm just as clueless as you
where do we go from here?
so long and goodbye?
or well..maybe
we can give it a try
i look to you for an answer
you waited for a reply
i shake my head
you sigh
"really i can do without this"
"so can i honestly"
"but i don't know.."
"i'm just as confused, trust me!"
"do you think it is what i think this is?"
"well i'm not exactly sure"
"seriously?"
"if i agreed, would you feel better?"
you shrugged, "maybe"
"maybe we can give it a try?"
i look to you for an answer
you leaned over to reply

went walking about gramophone at raffles place after my interview with hellomoto! (which went alright)..on my way out, the sales lady (i forgot her name!) called out to me "hey haven't seen you around in a while"..i was like "woah!"..honestly, i don't actually believe i make much of an impact on people so it came rather as a surprise that she recognises me..and when i told her i was looking for a marketing position, she called their main office to help me enquire if the company had a vacancy! "woah woah!" in the end, it turned out that the position was taken but this really made my day..thank you (i'll get your name the next time!)! (:


trying out a new magic trick..any volunteers to be my tester? :P

i - a - h

i log on to blogger..click create..and then..i wonder what to blog.. i wish i can rant on about the state of the world, morals and all that but really, i'm in a me, myself, addy and adrian mood so let's not spoil it now shall we? i know there's a war going on in the middle east but honestly, is there a need to debate who's right or wrong? lives are being lost out there..the funny part is some country can bomb bomb bomb then say "eh sorry hor..i really didn't mean to drop the bomb there la.."..so the bombs were supposed to hit somewhere more crowded? -duh- oh and, noel gallagher must have had a pretty bad nightmare last night of a certain paul twohill killing sally with his rendition of oasis' "don't look back in anger"..

anyways.. telemarketing this week has been going fine..to me, it's more about helping out a friend than for the money but then again..do you regard someone you hardly know as a friend? as in really really hardly hardly know? i'm weird this way i guess.. interviews and potential jobs are coming along at a pretty decent pace but it's still the ibm and mooks ones i'm eyeing the most..i've got motorola tomorrow morning and i'm like so totally anti-motorola..oh well, i'll try to like them better if they employ me..

hope to catch click this weekend..maybe (pending the outcome of karen's visit to "the dentist")..it looks like a really fun show from the trailers..plus i'm an adam sandler fan! :P also planning for broadway beng..jinxy's like more enthu than i am! resulting in a weird phenomenon called the tele-poot-ie..maybe it's due to her increased level of enthusiasm or maybe she accidentally synchronised us through one of her p.a.s! if it's the last one, maybe i should just p.a. her back..muahahaha.. i've said too much..

addy out!
