episode: -> Friends? <-
Have not been blogging for such a long time.
Does not have anything mind-bogging enough to blog about / rant out here.. I suppose.
That's not true, alright.. -_-"
Maybe I just never felt the need to be "shouting" out here.
I've had a knot residing somewhere deep inside my heart, along with many other knots, both big and small.
These knots do not disappear / go away by themselves, but with time, eventually become permanent scars / precious lessons learnt (self-closure).
I used to have a small group of close-knitted singing friends.
Only the four (4) of us.
Oops, sorry, "friends" are what I thought we are.
Silly me is wrong to use this term loosely.
Classmates then?
More factually correct.
OK, anyways, there was a period of time that we became quite close.
Or so I thought / assumed.
Life is never a bed of roses and things somewhat, changed..
Although I never knew what exactly happened or what went wrong..?
Yes, yes, stupid and silly me..
How can I not have spotted / observed anything, right..?
The truth is, I really do not know.
I never did figure out what happened.
I was sad, perplexed, angry and a fury of mixed and negative emotions washed over me.
These friends changed along the way, but only I remained the foolish one.
Oblivious? Agreed.
Sincerity? I definitely had that, together with respect and admiration.
I wanted to stay friends with them.
Hey, we are a class right?
We took singing classes together and encouraged each other along the way?
Sorry, these are all merely my own perceptions.
I deceived myself and let myself live in a big fat lie.
When the singing classes fell apart and everyone began going their own separate ways, only my last friend and I tried to pull things back together.
This was met with.. Silence.
Uh wells, that was a year ago.
I was outcast-ed, ostracised and people think I am.. W-E-I-R-D.
Wow! I never knew I was behaving weirdly.
Misunderstood? Definitely.
Did they bother? Of course not.
Just take the fastest route out? OBVIOUSLY!
Weird people deserved to be avoided at all cost!
Worst is, we began as "friends" and resulted in such an ending.
If you know me, I am usually tending more on the optimistic side.
When things began developing in a "strange" way, which because I did not know any better..
I brushed it aside and thought I was just over-thinking things.
I mean, we are friends, right?
I guess not.
Little did I know, people look at me and think to themselves:
"She's weird. She's desperate. She's interested in me?" etc.
I am just being warm and friendly because I like all of you guys a lot as friends.
I looked up to you guys because you have music background and is talented in singing or whatever cr@p you are good at.
This does NOT give you the right to look down on others and start spreading / speculating rumours among yourselves about me.
(Yes, I am the weakest link and have ZERO music background.)
Why do you need to overthink things and make things go all complicated?
Can't we just be friends, simple?
I swear I definitely did NOT stalk you, follow you, stare at you dreamily or whatever else bullsh!t.
Aren't you being a little too confident in yourselves and your whatever "talents"?
You're NOTHING with no character.
So much for being "friends".
My foot.
One knot untied.
You definitely do NOT deserve a place in my heart.
You belong to my sh!t.

episode: -> Stranded in Yew Tee. <-
Yes, stranded in Yew Tee.
I was caught in a serious SMRT train disruption.. -_-"
Actually it is a complete breakdown of North-South and East-West lines (that's all 4 directions). x_x
Complete chaos ahead.
I do not know the way home.
I have never given much thought about a contingency plan / backup route home.
In my distress, I urgently put together this route:
1. Yew Tee (NO train service)
Bus 302
2. Choa Chu Kang (NO train service)
Bus 985
3. Jalan Toa Payoh
Bus 5
4. Jalan Eunos
Bus 60
5. Home Sweet Home (finally!)
Total time taken: 2 hours 40 minutes
Total fare: S$2.80
Yes, I paid for my fare and it is not a joke for the amount of time and additional distance I had to travel.
Sighs..

Oh yes, it's that time of the year again!
HAPPY APRILS FOOLS' DAY! :P
Coincidentally, it's also Cardcaptor Sakura / Sakura Kinomoto's birthday today. ;)
(Geez, I am such a geek. -_-")

The beautiful and "legendary" Cardcaptor Sakura / Sakura Kinomoto!

episode: -> Goodbye and Farewell, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. <-
On 23 March 2015, at 03:18am in the wee hours in the morning, Singapore has lost a very important and significant political figure - our founding Prime Minister, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew..
I simply had to head down to the Parliament House in person to pay homage to Mr. Lee KY.
I also felt the need to head down to Esplanade to send this great man off on his last and final journey, marking the end of 7 days of national mourning in Singapore.
You'll forever be missed.

episode: -> A Breathtaking View on Interstellar.. <-
The long-awaited space and astronomy-related film of the year, Interstellar, has finally opened in cinemas today.
The name "Christopher Nolan" would surely attract many fans alike to rush down to the cinemas to catch his latest movie blockbuster "Interstellar".
To be honest, the movie trailer didn't really catch much of my attention.
For a brief moment during the movie trailer (before the movie was released), I was actually wondering whether this would have been a good film.
Christopher Nolan's "Inception", "Man of Steel" and "The Dark Knight Rises", were all movies of awesome caliber.
I decided to go ahead with my plans, since I've always been interested in the marvels of space and astronomy.
Wormhole was mentioned in the plot summary and movie trailer.
OK, on! \^-^/
I would have preferred catching sneak previews, but I didn't have the time.
Not wanting to miss out any further on this film, I booked my tickets early and headed down in wait for an awesome 2 hour 49 minutes long movie.
I was not disappointed.
The possibly habitable planet located near the giant Black Hole.
The character development is good.
I felt really sad for the characters enduring the torment of time.
The vast universe view is awesome.
It makes me feel tiny, like a microbe.
Wormhole, Black Hole (I didn't even know there was going to be a Black Hole in the movie XD), scientific equations, gravity, time-space.. etc.
I was pleasantly surprised and fed with beautiful images of space.
Ignoring certain flaws present in the movie, which are statements or actions inserted (or maybe edited) to fill the clueless audience (?), Interstellar is a beautiful movie that tries to be as scientifically and theoretically accurate as possible, without killing off the spark of creativity and imagination imbued into the movie.
This is after all a film, a movie, made with the intention to entertain the general audience.
Not a scientific documentary with numerous narrations for the more interested audience.
Don't miss it!
Unless you maybe don't give a damn about space and astronomy. XD

episode: -> 4/24 = 1/6 <-
Approximately 4 hours, in a day of only 24 hours, would be spent on public transport to and fro work starting from today onwards.
4 out of 24 = 1 out of 6
One-sixth of my precious day, every Monday to Friday, would be spent on public transport; most probably catching up on sleep if there are seats around.
I'll wake up earlier, leave home earlier, but reach work same time as before.
I'll leave work same time as before, but reach home later and as a result, having less personal ME-time to myself.
Sighs..

episode: -> The BIG Day. <-
What BIG day?!
Am I getting married?!
No..
The BIG day for my actual office shift has arrived.
No more commercial building and accessibility.
*sniff* and good-byes~
We'll be greeted instead with long stretches of roads leading up to my office block, which would be rather isolated from the rest of the "society".
20 - 30 minutes brisk walk from the nearest train station to the office everyday.
Oh my..
I'll need a lot of self-discipline getting used to this. x_x
