we wear the same clothes cos we feel the same
its that point of the year again, that turning point of the digit where a new year is supposed to tide in better fortune, more love, greater challenges and hopefully fertilise the money tree. 2009 has been uneventful in its many bitchy ways. like a kid who didnt get his lollipop, 2009 threw tantrums at us, stamped its feet on our luck, and worst still showed us the worst sides of a relationship which i never knew could exist. its scary im scared. which is why, as much as we have the tendency to moan about the worst of the year, i will instead kiwi polish the shiny bits of 2009 to make life seem a little less depressing.
so, in a bubbleburst of babble-gum here's 2009 as shone in good light!
i. jakarta trip.yum.
ii. ubin cycling-until-pitam trip.
iii. liverpool in SG, chasing, meeting and being one window glass away from carragher and torres, seeing chelseaboy odi in a liverpool scarf and joining the red army in the East so called 'Kop end'. thats love. haha.
iv. Nite Safari birthday with the bunch of bananas.
v. 3-woman karaoke bar with gee and sleazy siti. another friendly karaoke with his best mate and friends.
vi. dining in the skies.
vii. freelancing for Junk/online.
viii. datarock and that either drunk or ultrahyper hair-inyoface bite sized pinoisy gal.
iv. kota way-too-tinggi waterfalls and fast & the furious.
iiv. maybe zirca with that boy with the tecktonik ikat tali leher dance moves.ikat leher all nite long.
iiiv. battles, jason mraz, mogwai, nerd, of montreal, stars and diorama. haha.(warning: my roman numbering knowledge is limited up til 8 and i dunno what comes next)
ivi. and the 7 concert tickets already puchased for jan-mar 2010.
and this is how we roll. happy turkey day!

four months
its been exactly four whole months since i tied words into sentences like beads to a necklace and wore it on this blog. its raining heavily outside now, and im loving the sound of the angry blobs of water pattering outside the window. right now as i strike the alphabets on my keyboard, i feel like im remixing the soundtrack of rain. feelin or whatt. actually in this weather i'd rather spend some kwality time with my pillow(which has a 'world map' on it.air liur basi is so unglam yo).
anywayy... in these four months I rented 143 album titles, movies not inclusive. thats 143 hard work of artists making a living (yes, i counted them all). if we were to break it down to simple mathematics - each album costs $19.90 (standard hmv price) and 143 would have cost $2845.70. hereby, i say, im truly ashamed of myself. i feel like the kid who loves to collect stamps but doesnt get any mail. so she steals her neighbour's letters...or smthg like that.
in these four months, i started a new job. just got confirmed yesterday. wont say much about that, except that these 2 weeks i've been going for interviews. its sickening that as adults, we are expected to hold a certain 'position'/ 'job title' at a certain part of our lives and this age (26-32), we are supposed to be at the prime of our youths where we put the foot on that golden step of the career ladder. anything less than that,and society looks down on you simply as an underachiever. it suckks. it reminds me of the better life up wayy north, during the trip to iceland, where the norm is to stare at the mountains, look at animals and chat with your neighbours all day and no one will judge you cos thats life. work any harder and that just makes you an extra terrestial.sometimes, im quite convinced I/we were born into the wrong place at the wrong time.
im rambling like a ten tonne truck gone off the tracks. 2010 is tinkering closer and i pray it will be a much smoother journey.
