Seems like there are more similarities between me and my brother than I ever knew...
His recent blog entry reflects his loneliness and detachment from people around him, and at this stage, that's exactly how it feels...
Met up with Mei Hui today, and was also talking about the same stuff, about not meeting up with friends, or supposed friends, and sometimes not wanting to meet up with them...
I'm not too sure why too... But like quite lazy just to go out and meet up with people... So I'm kind of losing touch with a lot of people... At the same time, it also costs money to do that, which I'm kind of lacking as well... Hahaha...
And there are simply times when I don't wish to meet with anyone, yet I feel lonely... So it's really quite complicated...
Have thought through some stuff about where I'm heading to and what I'm doing... But it's still a bit hazy... But I have set goals for myself, so I'll have to try to work towards it... Hopefully all goes well...
Supposed to go meet Junbin, but a bit lazy to step out of the house liao... Prob will lah... Stay a home also stare at the computer only...
Till later...

Bad Day - Daniel Powter
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day
Had a bad day

My brother just reminded me of this song, so thought I'd just blog it to share it... Think it's a nice song to descirbe the sense of lost I felt yesterday... Oh well...

Calm has returned...
Finally managed to clear up my tornado-damaged room... It looks so tidy and clean now! YEAH! Took me close to 22 days to go through all the rubbish that has accumulated over the breathless weeks of turmoil and busy-ness... Everything that comes along my way is chucked in piles near my thermarest, making it a tumultous feat just to vacuum or mop the floor...
But now, it's all gone, with only a small stack of stuff on a wheeled chair under my tiny desk... My desk seems to be getting smaller and smaller.. After my notebook sits on it, there's hardly anymore space for me to write and read on.. But it's a comfortable clutter so far... Can still find what I need... =) So it ain't that bad after all...
Well, my room's not large in the first place... If I were to throw in a bean bag and a small television, it would a nice little one room flat... Cosy and self-equipped... Have my stoves and handphone... So I'm still pretty well-fed and self-sufficient... Hahaha... What am I thinking about?!
Anyway, the sense of accomplishment of having a neater environment to work and sleep in, is just great... And I'm rearing to move on from where I left off... Need to start doing marketing! No, no... Not going to the market to get groceries, but start officially with the publicity of my organisation's programmes, particularly the youth market, mainly the schools...
I'll be going off for a dive trip this evening... A long-awaited break from all the hustle and bustle over the past few weeks... Hopefully I do not come forth as the Singapore symbol again... A Merlion! Heh heh... It was only recently that I found out that the Merlion is the figment of STB's (Singapore Tourism Board) imagination! Feel so cheated! I have all the while thought that it was a folklore that was passed down from generation to generation, from our forefathers, who have witnessed something when Sang Nila Utama came to Singapore, or then known as Temasek. But, alas, to my great disappointment *drama mama*, it was just STB's noble attempt to make Singapore more interesting to the tourists and even to our fellow people. Hai... And I actually was so proud of it... Now it's just like the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus... But come to think of it, it's quite a nice thought Singapore has its own stories and well, beliefs? Just like our counterparts, US, China...
Well, time to get back to work... And get ready for diving! YEAH!
