departures and arrivals

not blogged in the longest time. partly due to my departure from the computer due partly to the lazy older brother that has been homebound for the longest time. does he not have a job to get to or something?

but swift arrival is easy to accomplish. back to the pages and thinking of what to write. the randomness of days are so incomplete. hanging out with friends are sweet reprieve from the sordid life that i am living in. work, there is nothing much to say about that, it had to be those pink ic holders to spoil a good flight and a good work plan. screw you pink ic holders. unsympathetic bastards.

on to the next rant.

i finally got fiona apple today. very satisfied i must say. contented heart. tick.

drama of all drama mamas. did come today i must say. i could even feel stares like daggers coming from the general public. but i just had to get my point across. but its all good i hope. aftermath of fights would make friendships stronger but the cracks are inevitably irreversible.

okay its late i had an early morning and now a late night. i slept at the mrt station. i am ming.

hallween coming up.

does it even matter

its impossible to retrieve shards of glass and place them back together again.i shall speak incoherently so only the knowing would understand. birth is a right that was bestowed upon you. mistakes maybe the reason why my feet are on this earth. my feelings are buried into muds. that sole tree which has flowers seem to be the truly special one. five of us on this journey i feel that i have denounced my position in this. mess of sorts you can say. but pray that my departure would go unnotice. i shall slip through the mini sands in this hour glass. i shiver at the thought of your stare your speech but why the fear? this denouncement is completely done through my sole decision. you have two more worthy subjects at your disposal. i have scarred myself so bad. i do not know whether forgiveness would come swift. but that is not the point. does it even matter. these words comes again to my mind. since that one departure i feel departed. pointless. nothingness. does it even matter whether or not i clock the hours? my inevitable is fast approaching. they want me no matter. they shall not give any leeway anymore. where is my chance for rebellion? haven’t i been docile. where is my chance of a breakout? for the run till my face get cut by the wind. monetary takings will be given back to you. once i am stable. for now i may not be the son you thought i would be. and for that i shall offer a thousand apologies. for the life you have given me i will be grateful.

this picture was meant for below’s post. but blogger in chinese screwed up. so here it is. its the lovely miss donaghy.

more shine today

it’s been raining the past few days. well maybe its the monsoon season. and it does not help that i have been down with bouts flu and a clearing sore throat. but that should be a positive note. its also kinda hard getting down to the books. seeing as to how the exams are tomorrow, i am trying my bestest to allow my brain to eat and digest all the words in front of me.

dialect seems to be clouding understanding.

that could be the reasons why people are often found mis-communicating. oh that by the way is from the song “Dialect” by the lovely miss donaghy.

okay maybe this is the time to get all confessional seeing as to how the weather is so depressing. i got it done. thats it. its done. nothing more to elaborate. what a confession huh. are you getting what i am trying to say or is it all dialect to you?

went to ham’s mom restaurant to dine the other day. it was quaint and lovely. i really liked the place the food and of course the company. it was as if i was really out of singapore. but upon looking out of the store window, disappointment sets in. dang it.

the arrival of a dear friend has finally come. i am very happy i must say to welcome her back. hope days will be good with her around.

rant rant rant.

thats it. shall revert back to the books. oh wait, the tv beckons.

pastime fun

okay. i think it is such a waste that tru calling was eventually canned by fox networks. and what’s worst no other network wants to take tru calling. not evern UPN the tv network that has ANTM under their belt. what’s more, i am just starting to watch it on cable and channel 5 has just ended its run of the first season not too long ago. i also chanced upon the complete first season dvd box set of tru calling at HMV. Hm. i am thinking i should get it. hope the second season which has only 6 episodes comes.

unable to discern my incessant rambling?

well, tru calling is a show about a girl, tru (played bythe incomparable eliza dushku). she has a special gift and that is she is able to relieve days. but she does not determine the day she is going to relive. instead it is dead corpses that help her determine the days she would be reliving. with a simple but oft tad freaky “help me”, the day is rewound. and she goes about helping the dead that are not meant to die, stay alive. at the same time with this gifts comes grave responsibility. she has her crumbling family to save and her own social life to think and cope with. will she be able to do everything in one day?

my two cents worth.

the concept of the show is a tad bit familiar in my opnion. when i watch it, it somehow reminds me of the early edition. remember that show. it was about this guy who gets the paper the day before. but enought about that. tru calling is quite the entertaining show. some of the episodes are really mind boggling and sets you thinking. but some of them can be very much predicted. but maybe i’m a litte bias in my review. the show has eliza dushku. and i think she looks great in the show. my first encounter of eliza was in buffy, she played faith remember? and you could say i was drawn to her. after that i saw her in bring it on. and i noticed her. but after that movie she never really made anything until tru calling. and i am very happy that she is in tru calling. i could not think of anyone better than her to play tru. there’s that something about her. but too bad it has been canned.

what does all this prove?

the rising challenge in sustaining televison show viewership. its not about the quality anymore its all about how much you bring in for the network. fox was very indecisive about tru calling. they played around with its timeslots and the idea about canning the second season whilst still in production. you see tru calling is what i call a neither here nor there kinda show. it did not really perform but sustained its own niche audience. this i feel was achieved due to fox’s placing of tru calling right after the OC. which by no surprise has a HUGE following. so in order to ride in the success of the OC, fox decides to put another OC-esque kinda show, North Shore, and canned tru calling. North Shore fyi is i think about teenage life too. they did this to create a belt of teen soap opera that’ll attract more viewership and increase the buzz towards North Shore. but the last i read, North Shore wasn’t really performing. and tru calling was canned. so yup. they have no intentions what so ever to revive tru calling. and the complete second season should be “the incomplete second season”.

but oh well many shows are either canned by networks or lose lustre after a few seasons.

guz,gust,gus

this is gust,gus and guz.

Ain’t she the cutest thing. It is been three days since we gave gus to the SPCA. It was a very hard decision to make but we just had to. We will visit her again. Soon. Many things running through my head. Have not started on any academic activities yet. But oh well.

bye.

dog a-go-go fiasco

her name is gus. she has a beautiful brown and black coat. and her face looks very sleepy. but i cannot determine her breed. oh well. u all could have now guessed that i have a dog. but by the end of this post you would see that i will not have her anymore.

so the story goes. jess had called me on a friday and asked me to meet her at the mrt station saying she had something to show me. plenty of thoughts abound i rushed down to the mrt station only to see her with a box and inside it was a little puppy. gus. or so i think that it should be spelt this way. was its name. the cutest little puppy ever.

and then the fiasco starts. we had decided that she would stay at jess’s place for awhile until we thought of another action plan for it. but boy was gus one handful to handle. bathing her was such a chore that we nearly gave up. but seeing her all clean and falling sound asleep amongst a ragged towel was kinda a priceless moment. then we decided to cage her up something which gus did not like she being a stray and all. hence she produced alot of noise in protest. that was the day after we got her. she managed to make it through the night.

the next was her turn to spend a night at my place but not before dropping by jasmine’s place. and after peeing all over jess’s place, we finally got her to pee in the newspaper. that was another priceless moment anfd derserves an “aw….”.

now she is fast asleep under jess’s bed. in a few moments time, we will have to turn her into the SPCA. that is the best action plan we can think for her right now. cos we know we cannot and do not have the monetary funds to take care of her. so we will let the SPCA do their job. hopefull some kind soul would adopt her. if she is put up for adoption.

i will post a picture of her in my next post.
