now playing: set fire to the rain – adele
wow, i can’t believe how long it has been since the last blog post. it’s been a good full seven months since i touched this site, and my gosh, wow, is all i can say at the moment.
between work and school and work and life, i wonder how people find the time to update their blogs! maybe it’s poor time management on my part, and maybe this isn’t a priority. i’d like to think it’s more the latter than the former 
a couple of things have been on my mind lately, but i don’t know what would be the best way to list or express them. from wondering how some people can be so hung up over the past, to how others are such hypocrites to how childishness beckons and how wonderful others are, it’s been more than a rollercoaster ride.
about the first point. a jewish proverb once said, ‘what you don’t see with your eyes, don’t witness with your mouth’. i don’t understand why and how someone could spread false rumours and gossip about something he’s completely not in tune with. i probably won’t ever understand why he did what he did and said what he said, but i only know that he’s got nothing else in his life to look forward to, which resulted in his lowly actions. i can’t even bring myself to pity you because you’re disgusting.
on the second and third point. maybe i don’t think the same way as you do, but my dears, there’s more to life than wasting it on filling your lungs with poison.
the last point. i love my friends and i love D’s friends. sometimes it takes distance and time apart to realise how great friendships can be. i’m stoked about meeting a crazy girlie this saturday, and i know she’s just as stoked.
now that those thoughts and feelings are off my chest, i can say that it feels slightly better. on to happier subject matters, i’ve just started reading blink by malcolm gladwell, which talks about how the mind thinks and reacts in two seconds. for example, in two seconds, you’ll know instinctively whether you like something or not. D and i went to the launch of the mercedes-benz singapore slk and c-coupe launch last week. in two seconds, i had already decided that i didn’t like the c-coupe, and i felt that the new slk looks a tad too long and resembles the sls a fair bit. oh, and that there were way too many freeloaders guzzling at the event. it’s been an interesting first chapter so i’m definitely looking forward to what else awaits.

national day is just round the corner, and twitter has been abuzz with the trending hashtag ‘iamsingaporean’ and it’s really funny reading certain tweets, like how the first reaction when annoyed is to want to complain, or how people will queue up not knowing what they’re queuing for. i’m glad to be singaporean, although i can’t agree with everything singaporean 
i’m so looking forward to christmas. please be here sooner, i can’t wait to hop on that plane to tokyo. everything i’m reading about the wonderful japanese city, especially on www.dannychoo.com makes my heart skip a beat in anticipation for the trip. a part of me is excited to walk down the streets of harajuku, shinjuku, omotosando, the other part of me looks forward to the cold weather and the airport lounges at changi, suvarnabhumi and haneda. <3
