i went to linkin parks concert while attending the arts camp, then i went over to catch an acepella performance by nus students and in a few hours time i'm going to malaysia. you can imagine how happy i'm. i'm so busy this few days i hardly have the time to blog.

FATHERS” DAY

Went to church today, then swimming at Toa Payoh. Followed by a trip to city hall to get tickets for the Linkin park concert and meet Duan at Suntec city who happens to be doing community service and he told me that I’m immature for my age, which got me quite worked up. At least for a while. I really should be less playful.

I cooked deep fried chicken cutlet, pork in dark sauce and fried eggs with rice for my dad today. It was my first time going solo and I created such a mess in the kitchen you couldn’t recognize it. All this to make a memorable fathers’ day and it was worth it especially when dad complimented on my fried cutlet which was self taught. It’s still around because nobody could finish it. You want to sample?

Then comes the dark sauce pork.
“Is this duck or pork?” dad asked
“No I think it is fish.” My helpful mother replied

The egg was covered in a so much dark Soya sauce I dare not even look at it.

But that smile on dad’s face is all I ask for.

Mission accomplished.

PACK


I got myself caught in a crowd which equals that of China Black on Saturday night but minus the air-con, alcohol, pretty girls and of course music. Instead, I got sweaty armpits, body odor and lots of people cutting queue at the Malaysian checkpoint. Should have known. On Saturdays you never go to Malaysia unless you are running away for your life.

I went there to book bus tickets for my trip to Re Dang with Daniel because it is so much cheaper as compared to getting a direct trip from Singapore.

Anyways, I reached Lakin bus interchanged and ate 2 burgers from a roadside store, which puts burger king to shame, and I went swimming at Clementi later.

Which was a bigger mistake. It was packed with kids of all ages and all kinds of weird behavior. Swimming in the pool was like navigating the sewers in Singapore. And boy does the water stink. I could have killed a lot of people if I swim butterfly stroke. Bloody hell!

Anyways, I am going to cook for dad tml wish me luck

I doubt I’d send him to hospital this time.

Anyways, again, I have made up my mind to stay in hall and I am going to linkin park concert with Kenny and Pierre on Tuesday.

HAPPENING MAN all i have to do is to spend money until my bank account runs dry.

I am such a responsible adult.

MADE MY DAY

Green light given by OC regarding my trip made my day.

Finished signing my clearance form made my day

Watching shrek 2 made my day

Preparing lemon grass tea made my day.

Helping dad cook made my day

Getting to know how to use the washing machine in my house made my day



As you can see, i have enough for a day and i am going to sleep.

SORE THROAT

I’m down with a terrible sore throat. This is not one of those normal sore throats, which you get that you can recover in a matter of days. This is more like an ulcer growing ceaselessly with a mind of its own on my vocal cords. It is growing bigger as the days go by and enjoying its new habitat albeit at my expense. This is worse than any pain in the ass.

I cannot talk much with the irritation and I wore a face longer than Simon Cowell the whole day.

Despite this is the last day in camp.

I am Ording!

But I’m not happy about it because I am still on alert amber and it just has to end on the 30th this month when I was supposed to be away in Ren dang with a friend finding Nemo with my snorkeling goggles on the 28th. I sense a long drawn battle of words between me and my OC will commence and the impending rejection I’ll inevitably face regarding my early departure.

Not to mention the amount of money that will go to waste.

DAD

I watched him from behind, the man who worked so hard to support me all these 22 years quietly from the back on my way to camp today.

His build is small with a slight hunch and he sits quietly in the veranda as he waits patiently for his transport to arrive with his bag by his side

I felt a sudden rush to grab him and tell him how grateful I am to him and how much I love him as I saw him sitting there resembling a kid with mixed feelings about going to school on the very first day.

He does not complain about the boredom of work, which takes up his entire lifetime and a mediocre salary just to put me through university.

He is always contented with hearing the songs his pet birds will sing to him when he comes home.

He is a quiet man who takes pride in nothing but the welfare of his children. Sometimes I feel I don’t deserve such a man to be my dad for I am such an ingrate. Wasting my life dreaming about tomorrow; living in my own fantasy.

I went to sit beside him and stroke his arm. It felt so different the last time I did it. It feels so much more wrinkled and old. I remember I use to hold him tightly wherever I go as a child. Right now, I hardly tell him what is going on in my life.
I waited till his friend came to pick him up then I watched him go and I felt my world crumble thinking that he will not be by my side forever. I just wish that time will turn back to the days I use to take scooter rides from him. And I will hug him tightly from the back seat till he complains about breathing difficulties.

Dad you are the best and i will never be too old to say that.

Went Nus for an X ray today, was suppose to be in camp, but,.. didn't give a damm
went swimmimg at clementi before having dinner at a hawker. seriously the economic bee hoon at clementi was great.
but i did not enjoyed my meal because of my ulcers.
i guess that's due to too much kissing..
ha,.. j/k
anyways, preparing for a trip to redang with daniel. should be fun. i'm looking forward to it.

Venus and the Sun

We predicted precisely when Venus was going to pass by the Sun on the 8th of June.

But you thought Venus would know about that.

For goodness sake, he is just an ignorant slacker doing his time in space.

He barely rotates about his axis as compared to Earth and never did conform since the beginning of time as he spins in the opposite direction as with the other planets. Inevitably, he has always been the odd ball in the solar system and he likes it that way. He even wears a poisonous cloak of toxic gas and acidic clouds to keep away any other living creature. Quietly, he seeks comfort in solitude.

However, beneath this repulsive cloak, breathes a warm and passionate heart. The dense atmospheric greenhouse gases kept him warm at a temperatures of 482 degree Celsius day and night. And on top of that he has a gentle heart, you could hardly find any volcanoes on it. Which explains the smooth complexion and his charming personality.

The sun, on the other hand, makes her presence felt perpetually. Always, brimming with energy and enthusiasm, she cares nothing more than to illuminate our lives with her intense flame of passion. She can never bear to die for she knows that if she did, she would bring all living things with her into the world of darkness. Therefore she has been ever caring and endearing. Even when she is away in the night, she will reassure us that dawn will eventually come by making the moon shine. She reminds us that she is still burning bright on the other side of the world and we can thus, sleep in peace.

Today they meet.

Feeling a warm glow on his face, Venus opened his eyes only to squint immediately upon seeing the rising Sun. Never before has he felt such a violent emotion.

The Sun saw Venus and felt a strong connection with his soul. Her piercing rays penetrated his cloak, destroying it completely and unravel beneath it Venus’s true personality.

Scientist from earth took the opportunity to study Venus’s atmospheric composition by studying the sunrays that pass through it. Venus stood naked before the blazing massive ball of fiery passion and let the sun’s warmth reach his very core. He gave an ecstatic scream so charged with joy that only silence was heard.

A silent scream, inaudible to anyone else, but deafening to the sun 108,100,000 km away.

They made love on that day.

At first sight this black dot floating in this sea of yellow and gold resembles an embryo in a yolk. This life-bearing act between Venus and the sun can only be a testament of their enduring love.As they immersed themselves in each other’s passionate embrace for 6 hours, it was with so much intensity that the world came to a halt to envy the romance of these two celestial beings.

Time was their greatest and most cruel enemy as it tore them apart heartlessly in the end. They remain a pawn to fate, which was jealous of their love. As Venus inched further away from the sun, it rained acid tears that eat into his skin. It could not be compared to the pain and anguish he felt as he descended into the cold abyss. The sun stared hopelessly as Venus diminishes into a tiny dot in this endless space and drifted beyond her out-stretched arms.

But suprisingly just before they part, they smiled to each other as tears cascaded and washed their flushed cheeks. These were not tears of sorrow. Rather, they were of joy.

They were more than glad to have found each other in this empty space and they wait earnestly for their next meeting 122 years or so.
