The rounder overseas moon.........

Playing the game, Oblivion, last night so forgot to update my blog. Not a good sign for consistenct :(

I just renew my passport online today because I am SERIOUSLY in need of some oversea travelling. It's like what....TEN FREKKING YEARS !!!.......since i step out of this city. Don't get me wrong, Singapore is a FINE (double meaning) city but it's also so BORING...at least to me. Seeing the same sights, hearing the same sound, everyday......What can only take so much.

Now considering when/where should i go to.......

I dun wanna go to the urbanised city cos in my honest opinion, what's the point of wasting your time to go oversea to see ANOTHER concrete jungle? Thinking of some rural places to go although I do not have any experience backpacking. Nevertheless, hopefully i will make up my mind soon.

Thou Shalt Rest..........

I am so restless today. Beside the usual troubleshooting of computers for the users, not much else happened. I really really REALLY wanted to go for a holiday overseas trip or something. Maybe to relax and think about what to do next, because obviously, i can't stay on this current employmeny for too long (underpaid and underutilised). Looking now at a few travel package online. Most of them are rather $expensive$. Sigh............the search is on...

No poems or anything tonight. Maybe tomorrow. Peace out.

Poems about love......or something like that.

Another night, another relic dug out from the past! Yes, I am talking about another one of my chinese poems written circa 2001. And thus shall we began,

长夜空余恨,
孤身有何畏?
无奈人寂寞,
难求共枕缘。

Gee, how come i can't write any of these mushy stuffs now?

Savour the moment........while it lasts....

Hmm....just recently dug out this chinese poem i wrote back in 2001. Here goes, and don't laugh.

红尘俗事何足忘,
月夜空幻遇肠断。
情欲自生由根本,
自盼娟离无遗憾。

There you go. Understand? Good grasp of chinese you got !! Don't understand? Too bad!!!

Maybe i'll dig out more of my past literary works and post is here.

Say you want a revolution......

Eureka !!! Today woke up @ 1pm. Quite late from what I am used to, mebbe because of last night late msn chat until 4am.

The first thing i did (beside the brushing of teeth, clearing of bowels, etc) is to get a haircut and also order my bookshelf because i SERIOUSLY needs a haircut and my room is chocked full of books. Got myself a big bookshelf for 150bucks. Quite a steal if u ask me.

Got back and have a 50 minutes jog. After that, packed all my stuffs into the bookshelf which is a daunting task by itself. After all these, it's already 7pm so can't be bothered to go anywhere and decided to just stay home and read some of my books.

Finally started reading The Invisibles, written by one of my favourite writers, Grant Morrison. And man, what a mind trip it was, full of twist and turn and.....HEADACHES !!! Like his previous work that i've read, Animal Man, Grant Morrison's work is all but imcomprehensible to many especially in the beginning chapters. I can tell you, after finished the 1st volume (out of a total of 7), i was only able to understand less than half of the stuffs but hey....part of the fun is in trying to squeeze your head and make the sense out of everything. And i am enjoying it so far. I am sure, like Animal Man, the ending will tie everything together nicely will a satisfying (and cryptic) conclusion. I can't wait.

Peace for tonight.

The nostalgia factor comes............yet again.

Let's see what can i recall about today. Hey, my mind's still works so here goes....

This morning, one of my old 'junior' back during NS msn me, asking me whether did i got myself into trouble with the 'authority' as he had heard something about me from his 'friend'. I was like 'WTF?? What did i do back then??' And then he say nvm. But then still it scare the guts out of me as my Unit during my NS period was quite 'sensitive'. My, what a way to start the morning !!!

The rest of the afternoon were pretty standard stuffs. Meeting here. Meeting there. One thing that to note is that some of my colleagues brought some Gundam Models to the company and it brought out the 'child in me', if u will, as i used to have lotsa of this model when i was a kid. Ahh......the good old days.

After the work, i decided to go to Kino to buy some books and accidentally happen to see one of my army friends, the only i think in my company that i can jog faster than me. Again, it made me think back of the old army days again.....

I dunno who is the guy that's pulling destiny's string but man.........all these incident just made me think back of the past and made me feels old. *COUGH*

Light at the end of the tunnel ???

Ah...nostalgia....time to shake off the cobwebs of my blog and write some new entries !!!

Pretty much nothing new happened today. The same old things. But what's weird is that i received 2 job offers on the phone this afternoon. As i can recall, the last time i did a search job is about February last year when i was fresh out of 'prison' (NS) and looking for a job. Such efficiency this company has !!! Took them almost more than a year to approach me. One of these offers is a web designer/programmer for AVIVA, the insurance company. Another is a financial consultant. Hmm.....i dunno, i seriously considering them cause my current employment is making me, well........bored. A change of career path may be good but then first and foremost

1: I am quite sick of computers so the web designer offer is a no go
2: I am no business student so me as a financial consultant ?? Whoever i am consultanting can kiss their money good bye.
3: I still want to be a Dog Trainer and/or open a pet shop.

So there u have it. Decisions. Decisions.

Anybody out there care for an advise ? Hello ?? Anybody ?? (ECHO)
