Friday, February 18, 2005 0 comments Post a Comment i love you miandy, more than ben. ditch him. for now at least. *sniggers* (but considering that u did not wish me happy birthday...THIS BARELY makes up for it) Coming back from work with a happy pocket, see this pyramidal cuboid (i forgot what you call that shape) cardboard box Rip it apart , knew it was from miandy but no not what lay in it . and there it lay, "shimmering and splendid" : i gape. but haha what a coincidence, i tried to get the above image to show my readers the poster. got into www.art.com. AND OOPPS found out how much it was. (u cheapskate thing. haha.) But awwww, its the effort! *glares at adele li who will never read this* I shan't put it up cos i don't want it to be ripped down again when i go for shanghai. so i shall keep it safe on my book shelf and u'll see it on my walls on shanghai (IF i get into shanghai. grumble.) The Beekeeper's out on Feb 22nd. ~ Preposterous. I actually have to go outfield TWICE in the next two weeks after a chemical defence course. But well, i realised ,with bigger ambitions in the mind, one does not bother with petty mistreatment (yes, i label it 'mistreatment'). Just that physio session will be delayed again and it just means i will have no gorddamned idea of what's wrong with it till later (i AM assuming my new physiotherapist is endowed with such medical perception) One must be focused: I will read almost urgently. I will sacrifice alot of my time for working. I shall write even when i don't want to. I shall eat less (ummmmmmmm~). I will love my parents and friends. And only my parents and friends for now. And of course , money , books , food and music. One's actions must be justified so they will be fully motivated: I need the knowledge to feed my spirit and distract (hopefully detach) me from unpleasant thoughts and issues. I need the money to spend carefreely. I shall save religiously so i will have more than enough money to 'maintain' my parents when they get old and sick (which they will. eventually.)(seriously. that's the reason why i even bother to work. trust me, i have enough money to spend on albums now if u think that's e only reason why i'm working. can u EVEN imagine 2 children sharing the medical bills for your aged parents? i know better. all you single children out there - wakie wakie.) I need to maintain my body so i don't look too bad. So it'll be easier to attain the celebrity image when i do eventually become one. ho ho ho. jokes aside, its for the sex. *muffled cunning laugh* I blog to relieve my casual inspiration. ~ Had a long chat with my granny just now. I decided i will write about her in my next short novel. I want it to be lighthearted but hauntingly diffused. She calls me Ah Cek now, hmm, hitting one of the later stages of her mental illness. Oh but she's quite cute sometimes. Like when she decided to slide down the edge of the bed to sit on the floor beside the maid to 'accompany' her. And she was smiling like a little happy kid. So weird, how we become so helpless when we're old. 2/18/2005 08:24:00 PM
