"The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground." - G K Chesterton
Bedok's the best area to live in man. I mean, all the old-school swings that I used to play in primary school can be found here, all around the vicinity!

Was out with Perc yesterday night, and we had supper @ Simpang. I was in the mood for some beers after that (actually was an excuse to get him to come with me to the playground near our area to play swings) but bro said that we should probably drink the beers in the kopi-tiam instead of having canned beers at a playground. So, after 2.5 mugs of carlsberg each, we made our way to the swings. However the swings nearer my block were half occupied by other people (it was 130am man!) so Perc suggested we go to the one a bit further up (guarantee no people! He said...) . Within 5 minutes I was swinging away like a mad bitch. I'm always a swing-pro in primary school cos I knew the mechanics of swinging. I always swung like I was winning & I am definitely not ashamed about boasting this skill of mine. LOL...

So anyways, Perc was quite shocked that I could swing that high & he told me he could never swing at this intensity. Being the ever benevolent and kind soul, I decided to teach him how. He was initially reluctant to embarrass himself on a swing (since we are already in our 20s) but I cajoled him into it somehow. The first few times he was swinging in an absolutely hilarious zig-zagged manner but in a matter of minutes, my coaching worked its magic and Perc was swinging his life's first highest point on that bloody swing of Bedok South!!! I'm sure some of you out there innately want to prove to those primary school kids that you can swing better than them even though you're probably a decade or two older, not as nubile or twice / thrice their size to be able to swing as gracefully. But... ... ... Do you wana show those little kids who is the king of the swing?! Do you want them to kowtow to you & acknowledge you as the supreme swing master?! Do you wana banish them from the face of these playgrounds so that you can also have your fair share of a swinging-good time??!! Today, and exclusively today, I shall impart my secret manual to you... ...






That's why people always say, learn from the experts!
PS: I took 20 minutes to painstakingly draw this...& then 5 times to scan it fully in. If it works, thank me ok.


Swing away! Swing until you get airsick! Swing like you f**king own the swing! & while you're at it, get high! (just don't down too much beer before that cos Perc gave up halfway, stating that he really needs to pee.) ---> I flew to the loo twice before heading to the playground, definitely did not want to hold my pee then shower my "blessings" on the playground.

What are you waiting for? Go find a nearby swing already!

Was watching "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" online when I heard some hilarious lines delivered by Russell Brand; in the scene whereby Kristen Bell, himself, Jason Segel and Mila Kunis were having a sort of "double date". Tried searching for the exact lines on-line (pardon the pun) but the hits on google seems bleak. However, it prompted me to search for something I had wanted to post a few months back but somehow forgot. The poem from Harold and Kumar...Bet all you guys who had ever watched Escape from Guantanamo Bay remembered this:


Square root of 3



I fear that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

A three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight

Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

Has quietly come waltzing by,
Together now we multiply

To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
& with the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed
.
.

There are still many many great lines and scenes that I really wanted to share from my favourite movies...wait till I have the time to consolidate them all.

Talking about which, I think Kumar looks like my friend Zeeque.





I think the resemblance is uncanny...Don't you agree? LOL!!!

Woah...I fell in love. With this:




CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!!



Been wanting to buy a pair of retro headphones (or something out of the ordinary). Actually had wanted to buy Panasonic RP-HTX7 retro piano painted ones,



but Jaben made me wait so long!!! Arghhhhhh, then I had to spot someone wearing this gorgeous Zumreed Dream headphones in bright pink!!! OMG. Walking around NTU with them somemore. I almost flew towards her to grab them. I had to practise a lot of self-restraint. So which is nicer??? Opinions anyone??!!

Damn Damn Damn. I'm so getting someone to help me purchase them online!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be, will be. The future's not ours to see...Que Sera, Sera, What will be, will be." - From the song "Que Sera Sera" by Doris Day

Many lament that 'waiting' is the most common activity a human being does; one needs to wait to eat, wait to shit, wait to sleep, wait to pee and wait to what-have-you. However, I beg to differ. I think 'thinking' is the most common activity we do. We even need to think before we act on anything, heck, we even need to think whether we want to wait to do whatever. For e.g.; In the morning, we think if we should snooze the alarm for another 10 minutes, then we think whether we will be late doing that. Thereafter we wait to see if our hands will automatically hit the snooze button. So I think (pardon the overuse of the word) that 'thinking' the the most engaged activity of all time.

I, for one, love to think, and thinking involves the use of my brain (@ this point I might have to add that although I'm awed by the brain and its capabilities, I am not so thrilled about learning the scientific aspect of it--> as I am forced to now, doing Neurobiology in school *cue -_-"' face*).
I love to think about things, & then more often than not, create imagery out of somewhat unnecessary scenarios/happenings. However, I don't feel that I'm isolated in this cos I know for sure that there are people like me who read into things more than a typical human being; and also some nuts out there who think so much, they drive themselves, well, nuts...

Anyway, back to thinking right. Today I forgot to charge my faithful companion, Mr Ipod, so I had to pick up a book to read on the way to school. So as I was reading that book which was teaching me how to be a more approachable human being, I had an eureka moment. I realise that if I want to become a more approachable individual, I will have to stop thinking so much and just let some things go. It's all kinda poignant how a space of a decade can change me so much. I remembered the times when I was carefree, I thought less about stuff, I dared to get down and dirty, and I don't care a damn about looking ugly---> especially whilst playing all those orientation-like games like being thrown water/flour bombs or rolling in a pool of muddy water during forfeit etc.. As I grew more mature, I became more guarded in my actions and feelings. I was much more self-aware in the looks dept, so much so that I couldn't be cajoled into posing silly for a photo just last thursday in which all my friends wanted to look silly. Very often, I think about how my future life will be and then I get stressed out thinking about the "what ifs"...(What if I don't earn enough next time, what if I don't do that...) & I am reading more and more into people's actions and words (not always in a negative light but fairly often) so much so that I had more or less morphed into a pessimistic soul. Funny thing is that I know I am capable of being optimistic, and that I am capable of becoming less guarded and I know for sure that I deserve to have a life as fantastic as I want it to be. I've come to an understanding that I have not had serious fun in ages and I am determined not to let this negative aura surround me. I will relax and take it easy, I will radiate positiveness and I shall let my life roll ahead of me naturally. I will sing "Que sera sera" to myself repeatedly every night from now on; complete with the fake- mike hand action (I kid...lol)























What I said today does not make sense right? It's ok, cos it doesn't makes much sense to me too.



This song was playing in my head the whole day, couldn't resist posting it.
