Just got back not long ago and still abit high on alcohol as I type this post. Haven't really got the time to update my blog for the past few nights... as I was occupied, chatting with some of my close friends. Picked up a queer habit of updating my blog in the wee hours of the morning... when everything seems so peaceful... the air so cooling and fresh with the occassional speeding sound of cars along the road around my neighbourhood.
Was introduced to the song "All Over Again" by Marilyn two days ago and since then had the song looping in my playlist. It was this song that reminded me how much I used to like Ronan Keating songs, bringing back fond memories of days during JC... when things seems so much better, when life seems so much simpler, when everybody seems so much happier... when Alvin is still around to crack me up... I'm an emotional person and I dont deny it... I get affected by things easily, get distracted by people around me... cry each time I watch Jerry Maguire though I've seen it more than 20 times.
I like treating my friends nice... enjoy the smile on them when I helped them... the satisfaction is priceless to me, thats why in the past I used to go all out for my close friends. I'll travel far to buy something my friend need, pass things to them thru their mail-box cos I like to give surprises, attend plays or games to give support to friends that are involved... doing all these with or without their knowledge doesn't matter cos it makes me feels good just doing stuffs and being there for them. However many things have happened throughout these few years that made me grown weary... somehow the dissapointment seems to out weigh my beliefs. I still do these stuffs now... but lesser I guess. Not sure what I'm ranting about, but there's this recent incident that makes me ponder some stuffs again. After pouring out to Marilyn, which somehow always seem to be there when I need a listening ear, and someone who can offer me various perspectives on each problems... I realize that perhaps I made a mistake this time round. Haiz.
This week really seems to be a long week. Went to watch Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest but cant really recall which day in particular. The movie was fantastic and definitely worth the wait and anticipation. =)
Played Tennis at Season's Park Condo on Thursday. Finally got back my racket after lending it to Guan Aik for months. Haven't played for a long long time and my stamina is definitely gone. I love Tennis cos its one of the sports that I played better in. Had a really great time though its just an hour game. Went for a 1km run which almost killed me before going my friend's place to enjoy his cooking. Its time I start doing sports again, getting too fat and unfit. =(
Went to Holland-V for dinner and beer on Friday. When my friends mention dinner at Holland V, I usually expect some nice restaurants for meals, perhaps a $15-20 budget meal... (cos after spending the effort of travelling down, why eat something that is plentiful elsewhere) but we ended up having dinner at the Hawker Center located in the heart of Holland-V. Had chicken rice and a bottle of Carlsberg before settling at Coffee Bean for a drink whilst surfing the web and watching Dead Or Alive latest trailer. The girls inside the trailer looks really yummy especially the blonde... ha ha.
Saturday afternoon... Went down to Marina South to watch Hao Xin play soccer against other teams in their weekly league. Unfortunately, their teams lost due to shortage of players. I went down without informing him... cos initially I just want to go down to support him, and to spend some time alone sorting out my thoughts, bask myself in the evening sun, lazing on the grass enjoying the cool breeze. =D
23rd July 2006 Sunday. Went to catch the movie "Nacho Libre" at Yishun 10. Just feel like watching some nonsensical stuffs and did I truly get what I wanted. I always found the trailer ridiculously funny. The main theme of the movies sounds really good though, shall go buy the soundtrack if its available.
Shopped for a while at Northpoint after the movie before heading down to Jurong to meet Arthur. As Arthur needs to drive Bob back to the Naval Camp at Changi, we decided to have dinner at SAF Yatch Club. Tonight was my first time there (second time to be exact, the first was 6 years ago when our unit has the route march there) and the place was heavenly, it was so...so beautiful. The ambience of the cafe was lovely with the sea and yatches park along side accompanied by the sound of waves. The cafe has a soothing theme with its pier gently decorated with lights... while having my Fish n Chips and beer, there was this group of guitarist serenading us with "Sealed with a Kiss"... The night just seems so magical... =)
Not really sure what I'm typing now also, the flow is messed up, eyes half closed and my mind is missing. Most probably will laugh / regret what I wrote today as I read this post some time later.

"when life seems so much simpler, when everybody seems so much happier..." - I totally relate. It's a harsh world out there today, where people aren't always simple and genuine.. Yes, we need to watch our backs, but I believe we can still choose to enjoy life through rose-coloured glasses.. Amidst the hard knocks, there is beauty everywhere - we just need to open our eyes and ears.. ignite our five senses everyday (better yet, our sixth too ;-)). Just savour the golden moments - little moments of warmth.. Keep the good with us, and discard the bad.. Most importantly, always learn (both from the good and so-called bad).. Never stop learning. :-)
I hope you liked the song - since I remember you were quite a Ronan Keating fan. ;)
Hey, but I'm sorry if the song made you somewhat sad oh. :0
