Sometimes the blue we see in the sky isn't all that blue. Funny what the rain does to you in a swift act, followed by a cool breeze that makes Time still. The rain clouds look a little pale pink tonight. Caught a good glimpse on the ride home. Seemed to be telling the world that things have changed, and the days come closer than ever before, ready to consume and impart its secrets to anyone or anything that gives a damn about it. I'm knocked quite senseless in a moment.
Somebody puked in the car earlier, but kinda smart though, had all the garbage in the plastic bag before any got onto the seats or floor. The grandeur was when it was thrashed. The 'thud' was an amazing "dead weight" lol.
EMO. That's how it is tonight after 35 minutes.

| 05.28.08 (11:00 pm) [edit] |
I've been yawning uncontrollably for a while now. Either the air in the office is getting bad (for a lack of maintenance), or I'm just simply exhausted after weeks on end of long work hours. Whatever it may be, and I'm not particularly inspired to write this post, I thought I might as well just whine a little here.
Aside from a flaky connection today, the weather's been a great welcome considering the rain and drizzle really did quench and swell the heat down. I like this sort of coolness in the air, makes people sleepy and really easy on the conversations.
Got news last week that a friend's wife miscarried. Came as a shock cos I didn't even knew about the baby. How it happened, nobody knew, but I'm sure the hurt runs deeper than the Grand Canyon. Couple weeks before that, a friend's mother passed on. Seemed to have gone off quietly. There were also a few other deaths that has come about, something which I had been feeling queasy over for months before. And now, seems like things have quietened a lot.
The cracks running between a few family members also seemed to have strained the efforts to put things right, for one, I've hardly spoken to anyone since the dinner incident that had put sis and bro on a cold war, and setting mom in outburst mode. To be honest, I've been staying late at work just to avoid any further aggravations to the already volatile situation. Year-end's renovations for the house is also sparking some new debates over where we should put up temporarily. Some say to my Sis' house in Bishan, or my brother's house down at Alexandra. I say... I think I'll bunk into the office for 2 weeks and hope the renovations get done fast. Of course, by then the other sis would have left for Vietnam for a year's worth of NGO work. Gosh... nothing's really moving.
Work's been going pretty sluggishly, although the quality remains faithful to the premise of good products. Unfortunately though, the people working on projects after projects seem to be toiling quite aimlessly. Money seem to be the greatest motivation, even though it has become the only.
And because of that, I've been trying to revive some lost interests in music and film making. The serious thought is that, playing professional was a goal, but playing leisurely is the ultimate aim. I can't speak for the rest of the band at this point, but chucking Nightsound into a corner seemed somewhat cruel to the legacy it has created for itself.
To top it off, I agree it would be saddening to give it up, even though, as I was reminded, that people would have viewed it only a pity. Alas, it can only take a side stand for now. Till there is more time to wind down, everything has to stay in a state of limbo currently. And probably for some time too.
A little girl in the arms of her caretaker kinda looked at me blankly yesterday. I smiled, and she managed a cute little blink. It brightened my day even though it was pouring on the way to the studio. But yeah, hope I get more smiles.
For that matter, more hugs on the left side please.
The dark purple Stella did for my hair at Lala is beginning to fade. Hope it doesn't get too bad. Strangely though, the sales girls downstairs were pretty curious why my hair was turning greyish. It doesn't look like aging, but certainly looked somewhat deliberate. My honest replies drew a few giggles off them. Easy day.
Its been quite saddening to hear about Myanmar and China - news are still on-going about the rescue work, and a lot more into the insights of the calamities. Cruel as it sounds, but nature's way of controlling population of any species can be quite shocking sometimes... or are we simply too comfortable ripping her off.
Nevertheless, I hope the loss of lives stops, and aids get in faster now.
So Chinatown's premium hawker fare across the street has finally opened for business in full swing, even as works went on to put on the finishing touches. Just days into its operation and already throngs of crowds have come to find their favorite stalls. My lunch woes are thus far solved, and considering if I patronize a single store a day, I would probably finish the round in about 3 months time. Encouraging? Not really. You should see how much oil and MSG they put in their cooking.
One last thing to report for this May 28th: I'm finally going for a holiday. There's only 6 more months to go before the year ends, so it could be anytime from now. Where to? No idea. But this trip's gonna mark another milestone for myself... Un-comforted flights, train, or bus rides to anywhere. LOL. Okay, I know I sound like a wimp, but hey, traveling for leisure, OTHER THAN for business or for family, this would be a first I'm SO sure.
So if anyone has any suggestions, or would love to tag along, leave me a message. Now, if you wanna go but you can't go due to some obscure reasons that are only sensible to yourself, please, don't post things like "Oh, I would really love to be there BUT...(+ 10329874 reasons and excuses)" That, you go figure.
Rainy days are fast approaching. The new umbrella looks good. Just hope it doesn't leak like my favorite one.

Went to the Compass dinner earlier on - okay dinner, friendly table, that's about. Tanya Chua and JJ picked up their awards, and as usual, Steph is somewhere overseas. No pictures of the glam (or unglam) people we saw tonight, just 2 really cute stars!

A little and you kinda round up with a lot of missing pieces that you put together and formulate the whole idea.
It's been a few weeks of sun and rare rain, making a lot of individuals sweat, not just in their clothes, but seriously over strained relations. Already tense, the weather's certainly not helping to keep the cool under the skin. Still, I do hope everyone would keep the chill.
Was kinda sharing a light conversation with K earlier on, and I kinda realised the amount of music I've made that are, IMHO not exactly very slack. If numbers would be a good excuse, the quality would have been a totally different thing.
I used to like to write deep. Read-in-between-the-lines , deep. Then I took a turn to simplify. Now, I just somehow write garbage-of-a-want. Not that I've become uninterested. More like, I've grown up to fight a needless war, and I'm just resting the arms and carrying the water to the dry fields.
It's fun to look back from time to time on what you've done with yourself, your life, your work. Somehow it makes you shy like a sheep, or glorify like a king. Perhaps its nice to just shun the focus and pull it out once a while.
Getting random. Gonna go hit the sack. Things have calmed a whole lot for the first half of the year. Keep it chill. It'll all be fine. Stay safe cyberspace. Cos I still need you.

Weather's been quite a killer for moods... The family seemed to have flared out on one another earlier on just because of a few insensitive words. I'm vexed about it. Tired. Mediation is something I've kinda always done, think I'm done.

A friend's mother just passed away, and was at the wake earlier to pay my last respects. Don't think I need to deliberate the atmosphere, but I do wish him well. What's cherished is sometimes never enough.
Sunlight break away like snow in your eyes, no disguise
Empty cups that lay down broke, break a smile, nice surprise
Secrets kept now laid bared sold, make a wish not a sigh
Please don't let me go, stay a while, lies
Summer left and winter falls, for a while, so I thought
Remnants of that lightness was like heading back to the place called home
Never was the promise told, it was not, never was
What's cherished is never enough, I know
Say you love me, and not a memory
I've waited too long to be
Days are empty, nights are sorry within
Just say you love me, say you love me
Your empty ravage makes me sick
Like sins that rudely seeds beneath the skin within

What an awesome Wednesday really! No unnecessary phone calls, no crappy demands, no humid day, just a nice cool rainy day with a touch of sun, peppered with loads of free time. OMG. Like the world turns and I'm just taking my time. Outstanding.
A couple of things that happened: our guest from China has been here for slightly more than a week now, and I think it is kind of taking a toll on the folks. He's demanding to see a lot of people within the family, but granted, he's trip was rather sudden, and not to mention, not exactly timely. This would be a period where work and exams are of absolute priority.
Nonetheless, mom's complaining about his longing to see a particular member of the family. Because this individual happened to be a distant family, plus he dealt with drugs, and that he didn't want to keep in touch, we would have loads of problems tracking him. Mom was really vexed when I woke up, and I just told her to cool it. No point getting worked up about something that cannot be done, or undone.
Well, the honors have been served and we've been as accommodating as possible. I'm not as affected due to the crazy week I've been having, but looking at the folks jump, can't help but feel comic about the whole situation. He's leaving Friday, so I think that would help put routines back in place proper.
Been actively writing songs for the new album too. Supposed to get a few tunes down for Yama too, but till I have more time, don't wish to be handing out tracks that are half-heartedly put together. Still, the new tracks seem to be relatively slow. Wonder why. Maybe growing older slows things down way a lot. Will post some samples soon I guess.
Also planning a couple of personal projects for the year. The album being one, a shot film would be in order, and probably another major show to close a chapter on the band's life for the past one year. Don't get me wrong, we aren't breaking up, just an update of what's happened in the past year individually.
If you know friends in the press, that be great! LOL.
I wonder what's happening on Friday.

Let's just say it's been a crazy week as much as I can remember, partially trailing with projects on hand, plus a little trying-to-avoid home vibe for now. Till the dust settles, I'd rather leave the talking to those at home.
Beyond that... I've very little to post. So yeah, till I'm more inspired.
You aren't having any of this!

It's been months since I last sat here in the study room using the white eMac that I helped my sis get a couple years back. Since her new Lenovo laptop came, she's been on this lesser, not to mention the CRT on this machine is seriously wearing out. Makes me wonder if it's worth getting it fixed when it finally blows.
Was driving down the expressway when huge streaks of lightning flashed pretty closed by, and against the Singapore Flyer, it looked somewhat creepy. Especially so when the Flyer blinks a horrendous array of multi-colored neon tubes, screaming across half the city of its existence.
The designer will probably turn in his grave if he sees how it eventually turned out.
Weather's been humid and stuffy for days now. Summer is hotter than before, probably due to Global Warming, although, studies have indicated a fall in temperatures for a number of years due to the changing climate that would affect current flow, making the cooler currents dissipating the heat when they rush in.
But that won't matter with a sweaty me holed up working in the middle of the night. The heat's been keeping a lot of people in climate controlled environments... oh how I wish I was back in the office...
I think I've been depressed enough for the last week. Time to bounce back to life.

It doesn't matter where on earth we stand to make amends, just take your time to feel the real that I am.
Energy's been zapped so much I just realised how painful to be in social situations with the mind wondering out of focus in a matter of seconds. Steady myself for a couple minutes, and there it goes again. I have absolutely no idea what I'm thinking, or capable of thinking anymore.
The last I checked, I was full-steam ahead. But as of the episodes that precede, I last felt this way when something major was about to happen. Not a good or bad thing per se, just something that happened, depending on which end of the spectrum you stand and hold your beliefs in. Truth is, I'm so drained of ideas that staying punch-carded in is an uphill task.
Anyway, congratulations to the astounding and aspiring filmmakers at Filament today! Outstanding job, fancy footwork, entertaining time! All the best!

I was just telling somebody I haven't blogged for a long time. In fact, there have been many things that have escaped my memory, senses, and consciousness. Not that it was intentional, never would I, but more of getting an over ejaculation of ideas beyond necessary.
Been growing tired, or should I say, have grown tired over many things. For one, I think I've more than paid back my dues to people I owed on much terms. This isn't being calculative, I'm just sprouting equilibriums that have not been in town for a long time, and I dearly yearn for one to show up soon before my mind goes into stone mode.
Somehow it makes sense. And I'm running out of senses to carry on. Goodnight cyberspacemen.
