stuffed, marinated, and cooked

the greying worn out tar, the cramped rows of shophouses that was around for almost a century and the relaxed pace of an old sleepy town still draws me back to this place.

let me see, the last time i came here was about 2000. thats like a good 8 yrs ago and i'm glad the place still looks the same except for new shopping centers in town. but i have to say, the light rain that night did not keep many people indoors ignoring the bazaar happening every saturday night. this, i only learned while i was on the coach with a bunch of my friends from the office.

the feeling was somehow very festive and the vendors there were alot kinder than the ones you get here back home. yes, did i say that they were kinder? i think coming from a city like singapore has taken its toll on simple courtesy on it's people. one good example: a small girl was crying in the middle of the bazaar. (lost her mommy and mommy too engrossed shopping and bargaining and shopping) local auntie made small talk to the small girl asking how does mommy or daddy looks like. the small girl kept on crying like a spoilt singapore brat! then suddenly, a loud voice thundered through shouting "where did you go girl?????" "why you talk to this old ladyyy????" oh my god, i thought. the old lady was just trying to comfort your little girl cause you were too caught up with shopping you fucking bitch!!!!!! but ofcourse, i didn't say that. well, thats that!

lottsa stuff to look at and eat. gosh, did i say eat? i never at that much before in my life and plus i remembered, i have not hit the gym for about a week! but then again, you're with a company of friends and having a holiday gettaway, why not!!!!! we ended the night with a massage treatment which was so heaven. ofcourse, the girls didn't like it cause it was painful....

well, i got back to the office and there i sat thinking what a great weekend i had. but the downside of it was the customs at the border. some things never change. tsk tsk tsk.

pack up pack up before you go go

left the office on time and headed ikea to get some organizers. i'm talking about see thru boxes, so that i can see whats the content when it's all packed up. yes, i've been busy packing and unpacking stuffs and re-arranging. gosh, it's really tough. i got home after a hotdog and sprite drink from the cafe at ikea.

got home and headed straight to sorting out my stuffs. i went to the easiest first i thought. which turns out to be the most difficult one. i didn't know, i actually kept all my letters, christmas cards, valentine cards and get well cards. some of them are actually wedding invitation from close friends. why, oh why do i keep them? could it be for sentimental reasons or could it be, if i keep longer that it would change something. i tuned down my dance music which was going on the background and thought to myself. shit, some of the stuffs here are too long to hang on to. but why oh why am i feeling the pain when i wanna get rid of it. finally, i made up my mind that should throw it all away. be it the good ones or even the very good ones. 

the past is a strange place and the hardest thing is to let go. bye bye my mails and memories. good bye, i got a train to catch and a dream to follow.

picture this

oh wow, didn't thought i'd write in here again. must been ages. anyways, it started quite rough for me for this pass few weeks, but then again i know now how to make it feels better. things are getting better for me and i hope it will get better than better.

been doing some studio work over the months, although i have to say this, i still have not finalized even a song. i've been working on 3 or 4 tracks and changing it over and over again. i don't know if i should put some vocals on it but it's just that i want to make this as danceyyy as possible. you know, something to put on when you're at a party. oh yea, one of the tracks i did is a real spaced and chillout stuff. something ppl can rot to and have a drink at the same time.

well, as much excited i am about my music, i'm also shooting some bands. in fact there's two bands that i'm shooting. Ground Freedom, is four young guys who's still in school studying archi, and yada yada yada. i first met them at recording one late sat night. i mean they sure sound serious enough. i mean it's sat night and when i was at their age, i was prob out having fun! thats what made me wanna shoot them. they were serious at what they do. c'mon they even write their own material and recording it at the same time. this second group i'm shooting is another rock band. i knew them as individuals not as a group. i have to say these guys are very humble at they do and they do some real kick ass stuff. really, i would really like to collaborate with them on some tracks if i can.

it seems that i have woken on the wrong side of the bed or it's just the maid pissing me off!!!! it screwed my whole morning. but things got better cause met up with friends in the morning before the movie. yes, girls, pls don't take your boyfriends to sex and the city. i think it's just abit too much for me. i mean i'm fine with like 45min series, but 3 hrs is like, errrrrrr get me out of here!!!!!! ok, i'm just pulling your leg, maybe it's just over 2 hrs but it feels like 3 hrs! reallly!!!!!!!

but at least my girlfriend kim brought along hubby chiok, so that i wont be the only guy, and smart diana for leaving the big man and the small boy back at the restaurant. this girl who had he voice all over the show, errrrr whats her name? the one supposed to get married who got ditched? carrie??? yea, the wardrobe queen??? well, i have some issues with my wardrobe is not big enough. so, i started this 'project wardrobe' like about a week ago. got the stuffs and tomorrow i'm meeting the contractor for some of the iron runners. my prob is, i dont know how to fold my clothes, so i guess the easiest is to hang all of them and see all my clothes lined up when i get up early in the morning! i know, that sounds so bimbotic!!!!!!! i can't help it, my boss use that word ever so often!!!!!
