surrounded by emptiness

It’s been a real challenge staying at home the whole day and by that I mean not stepping out for more than one hour and spending less than 10 dollars. In times of economic recession like these, this must be the most prudent decision I’ve ever made in my entire life. I’ve been sleeping at 7am and waking up at 6pm. Soon I will dearly miss these luxurious indulgence. I’m dreaded of going to school on Friday when all that vicious cycles of attending the most boring lectures will begin AGAIN. I just want to stay in bed and read all the books that I’ve been wanting to read. American Gods is seriously major. It is dark, mythic, poignant. One of the best reads in my reading collection.

Oh man, it is officially going to be the third week of March soon. In less than 8 weeks the fucking exams fever will start again. I’ve been planning to start my revision but procrastination just gets the better of me everyday. And after the exams, omfg, I’m going to be 21. Ok kids, I know I’ve been crying my lungs out over this trivial stuff but seriously I’m not fucking ready man. I’ve not achieved anything over these past 20 years and I just a little bit of time more to achieve something significant before turning 21. For instance, look at Zac Efron. He has a fucking promising future. He got the voice, the look, the skills (as in acting), the height, the fame, the money, the girlfriend, the wayfrayers that I want and the everything and he’s same age as I. KNNCCB. I’m just so not ready for everything to be moving this fast. And before you know it you’re going to be 30 and then 40 when all the mid-life crisis comes in and then you’ll be diagnose with one of the many chronic diseases. You may say ‘ choy, choy, later really kena’. But by the age of 40 or so, I won’t be surprised because trust me, so many health-freaks out there who solely survive on organic stuff and exercise 7 days a week and worship pilates and yoga and all and they still have cancer and diabetes and coronary heart diseases. After this, guess what? I’ll die. Oh my God, how come my life is so short and I haven’t really achieved anything to satisfy myself ( not literally speaking here). Can someone just stop the ticking clock for 2 years? I miss 17 18 19 20.

SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN SLOW ME DOWN

 

Starting from tomorrow, I’ll live my life with a purpose which means that I’ll wake up early and have a breakfast and study and have sushi for lunch and stop by Swensen’s for ice cream and jog at night. In between that, I will not forget to shave and start on scrubbing all the pile of dirt clogging my huge pores and change my sheets and organise my table and wash my bag and cut my nails and properly shampoo my hair. I wish my hair is that fine and solft so I can have those tussled locks (rrad: random).

Wait, I’ve been knowing myself better over these past few days as well. I know that if I’m angsty about something, I’ll just go and eat my ass out. If I can’t sleep, an hour of Miles Davis playing that saxophone will help. If I feel the urge to slurge on some material shit, I’ll think of the price of the stuff in my currency which can seriously feed 10 families in one year. If I need to talk to someone, I’ll just watch some seriously mind-boggling movies or some documentary because they have so many meaningful conversations and topics to discuss and this will shut me up instantly because I’ll be so dumbfounded and feel no less than inferior. If I need to go out, I’ll think of the trouble getting my clothes (which none is new) or the ever surprisingly bitchy and indecisive weather who is like a teenage girl that’s going through a rough day(read:period, boys, self-esteem, sex).

 This ailing economy needs those who can splurge because I don’t think it’s getting any signs of the better. Because everywhere is having sales on everything you can imagine, even Burberry is having warehouse sales in Suntec at this time of the year. This is a serious case! So be prepared for a buy one get one free in all the boutiques  for this coming Great Singapore Sales. However, why the fuck there were masses and hordes of people at the recent IT fair. So weird, I thought Singapore economy is on par with the rest of the world- recession. They must be buying lots of gaming consoles and laptops and all so that they can play Left 4 Dead or Dota or Maple Story while being jobless. That’s the only explanation for the overcrowding fever at the IT fair.

 I don’t know whether I should attend this friend’s birthday party ( coming soon) and go to Sentosa with the lifesaving people ( this Sunday). I hope it’d rain heavily on both days so I don’t have to make a decision. Talking about decision-making, IBM was and still is  a bitch. I walked out of the exams hall after 1 hour which is the minimum duration you must sit for the papers. Watching WATCHMEN was damn cool witht the usual guys, it must have been a while since I last watched such an entertaining movie like this ( read : horrific).

Until then ( which I don’t know when),

Tata

I stop coming because I wish not to see your face but guess what you didn’t as well.
